Which radars cover Dundee?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBGM (Binghamton, NY), about 55 miles east-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 Dundee	View
KBGM Binghamton, NY	55 mi east-southeast	4,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KBUF Buffalo, NY	94 mi west-northwest	8,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KTYX Montague, NY	107 mi northeast	10,700 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.
