Which radars cover Wells Tannery?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCCX (State College, PA), about 58 miles north. 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 Wells Tannery | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCCX State College, PA | 58 mi north | 4,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 85 mi south-southeast | 7,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 112 mi west-northwest | 11,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
