Which radars cover Warner?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGYX (Portland, ME), about 89 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 Warner | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGYX Portland, ME | 89 mi east-northeast | 8,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBOX Boston, MA | 98 mi south-southeast | 9,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCXX Burlington, VT | 108 mi northwest | 10,800 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.
