Which radars cover Montebello?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOKX (Upton, NY), about 68 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 Montebello	View
KOKX Upton, NY	68 mi east-southeast	5,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KDIX Philadelphia, NJ	83 mi south	7,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KENX Albany, NY	101 mi north	9,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
