Which radars cover Chenango Bridge?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBGM (Binghamton, NY), about 7 miles west-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 Chenango Bridge	View
KBGM Binghamton, NY	7 mi west-northwest	300 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KENX Albany, NY	96 mi east-northeast	9,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KTYX Montague, NY	110 mi north	11,100 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.
