Which radars cover Pulaski?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTYX (Montague, NY), about 26 miles east-northeast. 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 Pulaski | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTYX Montague, NY | 26 mi east-northeast | 1,500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 95 mi south | 8,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KENX Albany, NY | 124 mi east-southeast | 13,400 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.
