Which radars cover Munsey Park?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOKX (Upton, NY), about 43 miles east. 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 Munsey Park | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOKX Upton, NY | 43 mi east | 2,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 70 mi south-southwest | 5,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KENX Albany, NY | 125 mi north | 13,600 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.
