Which radars cover Weweantic?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBOX (Boston, MA), about 25 miles 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 Weweantic | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBOX Boston, MA | 25 mi northwest | 1,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KOKX Upton, NY | 126 mi west-southwest | 13,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGYX Portland, ME | 150 mi north | 18,200 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.
