Which radars cover Lordship?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOKX (Upton, NY), about 24 miles south-southeast. 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 Lordship | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOKX Upton, NY | 24 mi south-southeast | 1,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 108 mi southwest | 10,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
