Which radars cover New Paris?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCCX (State College, PA), about 66 miles north-northeast. 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 Paris | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCCX State College, PA | 66 mi north-northeast | 5,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 88 mi west-northwest | 7,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 100 mi southeast | 9,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
