Which radars cover Salladasburg?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCCX (State College, PA), about 47 miles west-southwest. 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 Salladasburg | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCCX State College, PA | 47 mi west-southwest | 3,300 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 90 mi northeast | 8,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBUF Buffalo, NY | 139 mi north-northwest | 16,000 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.
