Which radars cover Norwood?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTYX (Montague, NY), about 76 miles south-southwest. 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 Norwood | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTYX Montague, NY | 76 mi south-southwest | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCXX Burlington, VT | 92 mi east | 8,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KENX Albany, NY | 157 mi south-southeast | 19,500 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.
