Which radars cover New Market?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCCX (State College, PA), about 77 miles northwest. 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 Market | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCCX State College, PA | 77 mi northwest | 6,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 92 mi south-southwest | 8,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 123 mi southeast | 13,200 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.
