Which radars cover Ogdensburg?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTYX (Montague, NY), about 67 miles south. 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 Ogdensburg	View
KTYX Montague, NY	67 mi south	5,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCXX Burlington, VT	114 mi east	11,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KENX Albany, NY	163 mi south-southeast	20,700 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.
