Which radars cover Winburne?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCCX (State College, PA), about 8 miles east-southeast. 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 Winburne | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCCX State College, PA | 8 mi east-southeast | 400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 112 mi west-southwest | 11,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KBUF Buffalo, NY | 141 mi north-northwest | 16,400 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.
