Which radars cover Glen Park?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTYX (Montague, NY), about 22 miles 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 Glen Park | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTYX Montague, NY | 22 mi southeast | 1,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
