Which radars cover Newburg?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCCX (State College, PA), about 59 miles north-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 Newburg | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCCX State College, PA | 59 mi north-northwest | 4,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 80 mi south | 6,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 143 mi west-northwest | 16,800 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.
