Which radars cover Clyde?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTYX (Montague, NY), about 76 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 Clyde | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTYX Montague, NY | 76 mi northeast | 6,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 76 mi southeast | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBUF Buffalo, NY | 95 mi west | 8,900 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.
