Which radars cover Grand View-on-Hudson?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOKX (Upton, NY), about 57 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 Grand View-on-Hudson | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOKX Upton, NY | 57 mi east-southeast | 4,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 81 mi south-southwest | 7,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KENX Albany, NY | 106 mi north | 10,400 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.
