Which radars cover Hannawa Falls?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTYX (Montague, NY), about 68 miles south-southwest. 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 Hannawa Falls | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTYX Montague, NY | 68 mi south-southwest | 5,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KCXX Burlington, VT | 89 mi east | 8,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KENX Albany, NY | 147 mi south-southeast | 17,500 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.
