Which radars cover Flemington?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 88 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 Flemington | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 88 mi north | 7,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KRLX Charleston, WV | 108 mi southwest | 10,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 143 mi east | 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.
