Which radars cover Boonville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTYX (Montague, NY), about 26 miles 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 Boonville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTYX Montague, NY | 26 mi northwest | 1,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
