Which radars cover Lake Huntington?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBGM (Binghamton, NY), about 62 miles northwest. 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 Lake Huntington	View
KBGM Binghamton, NY	62 mi northwest	4,800 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KENX Albany, NY	79 mi northeast	6,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KDIX Philadelphia, NJ	124 mi south-southeast	13,300 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.
