Which radars cover Port Dickinson?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBGM (Binghamton, NY), about 6 miles northwest. 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 Port Dickinson | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 6 mi northwest | 300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KENX Albany, NY | 99 mi east-northeast | 9,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTYX Montague, NY | 113 mi north | 11,500 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.
