Which radars cover Margaretville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KENX (Albany, NY), about 43 miles 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 Margaretville	View
KENX Albany, NY	43 mi northeast	2,900 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KBGM Binghamton, NY	68 mi west	5,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KTYX Montague, NY	123 mi north-northwest	13,200 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.
