Which radars cover Naples?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGYX (Portland, ME), about 18 miles east-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 Naples | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGYX Portland, ME | 18 mi east-southeast | 1,000 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KCXX Burlington, VT | 133 mi west-northwest | 14,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KBOX Boston, MA | 141 mi south | 16,500 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.
