Which radars cover Lenox?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KENX (Albany, NY), about 43 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 Lenox	View
KENX Albany, NY	43 mi west-northwest	2,900 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KOKX Upton, NY	106 mi south-southeast	10,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KBOX Boston, MA	114 mi east-southeast	11,700 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.
