Which radars cover Huntington?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KENX (Albany, NY), about 64 miles west-northwest. 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 Huntington | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KENX Albany, NY | 64 mi west-northwest | 5,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KBOX Boston, MA | 92 mi east-southeast | 8,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KOKX Upton, NY | 95 mi south | 8,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
