Which radars cover New Lebanon?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 62 miles south. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.
| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over New Lebanon | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 62 mi south | 4,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KCLE Cleveland, OH | 92 mi west | 8,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCCX State College, PA | 113 mi east-southeast | 11,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
