Which radars cover Pine Bush?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KENX (Albany, NY), about 69 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 Pine Bush	View
KENX Albany, NY	69 mi north	5,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KOKX Upton, NY	90 mi southeast	8,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KBGM Binghamton, NY	96 mi west-northwest	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.
