Which radars cover Deep River Center?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOKX (Upton, NY), about 42 miles south-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 Deep River Center | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOKX Upton, NY | 42 mi south-southwest | 2,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KBOX Boston, MA | 78 mi east-northeast | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KENX Albany, NY | 118 mi northwest | 12,400 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.
