Which radars cover Constantia?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTYX (Montague, NY), about 38 miles north-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 Constantia | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTYX Montague, NY | 38 mi north-northeast | 2,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 73 mi south | 6,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KENX Albany, NY | 109 mi east-southeast | 10,900 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.
