Which radars cover Cassville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 59 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 Cassville	View
KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA	59 mi north	4,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KRLX Charleston, WV	130 mi southwest	14,400 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KCCX State College, PA	138 mi northeast	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.
