Which radars cover Millerton?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KENX (Albany, NY), about 52 miles north-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 Millerton | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KENX Albany, NY | 52 mi north-northwest | 3,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KOKX Upton, NY | 83 mi south-southeast | 7,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBOX Boston, MA | 122 mi east | 13,100 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.
