Which radars cover Sanbornville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGYX (Portland, ME), about 45 miles east-northeast. 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 Sanbornville	View
KGYX Portland, ME	45 mi east-northeast	3,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KBOX Boston, MA	110 mi south	11,200 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KCXX Burlington, VT	125 mi west-northwest	13,600 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.
