Which radars cover Baldwinsville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTYX (Montague, NY), about 53 miles 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 Baldwinsville	View
KTYX Montague, NY	53 mi northeast	3,800 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KBGM Binghamton, NY	69 mi south-southeast	5,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KENX Albany, NY	122 mi east-southeast	13,000 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.
