Which radars cover Eagle Bay?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTYX (Montague, NY), about 43 miles west. 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 Eagle Bay | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTYX Montague, NY | 43 mi west | 2,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KENX Albany, NY | 90 mi south-southeast | 8,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCXX Burlington, VT | 97 mi east-northeast | 9,100 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.
