Which radars cover Duanesburg?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KENX (Albany, NY), about 13 miles south-southeast. 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 Duanesburg	View
KENX Albany, NY	13 mi south-southeast	700 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KBGM Binghamton, NY	102 mi west-southwest	9,900 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KTYX Montague, NY	104 mi northwest	10,200 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.
