Which radars cover Camden?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTYX (Montague, NY), about 29 miles north. 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 Camden | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTYX Montague, NY | 29 mi north | 1,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 79 mi south | 6,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KENX Albany, NY | 100 mi east-southeast | 9,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
