Which radars cover North Bay?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTYX (Montague, NY), about 37 miles north. 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 North Bay | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTYX Montague, NY | 37 mi north | 2,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 72 mi south | 5,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KENX Albany, NY | 96 mi east-southeast | 9,000 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.
