Which radars cover Coxsackie?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KENX (Albany, NY), about 20 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 Coxsackie | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KENX Albany, NY | 20 mi northwest | 1,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 112 mi west | 11,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KOKX Upton, NY | 114 mi south-southeast | 11,800 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.
