Which radars cover East Brooklyn?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBOX (Boston, MA), about 41 miles east-northeast. 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 East Brooklyn | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBOX Boston, MA | 41 mi east-northeast | 2,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KOKX Upton, NY | 81 mi southwest | 7,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KENX Albany, NY | 123 mi west-northwest | 13,300 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.
