Which radars cover Eden?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBUF (Buffalo, NY), about 22 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 Eden | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBUF Buffalo, NY | 22 mi north-northeast | 1,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KCCX State College, PA | 128 mi south-southeast | 14,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 152 mi east | 18,600 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.
