Which radars cover Claremont?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCXX (Burlington, VT), about 88 miles north-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 Claremont | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCXX Burlington, VT | 88 mi north-northwest | 7,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KENX Albany, NY | 103 mi west-southwest | 10,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGYX Portland, ME | 110 mi east-northeast | 11,100 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.
