Which radars cover East Hampton?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOKX (Upton, NY), about 53 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 East Hampton	View
KOKX Upton, NY	53 mi south-southwest	3,800 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KBOX Boston, MA	74 mi east-northeast	6,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KENX Albany, NY	107 mi northwest	10,700 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.
