Which radars cover Redwood?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTYX (Montague, NY), about 38 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 Redwood	View
KTYX Montague, NY	38 mi south	2,500 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KCXX Burlington, VT	131 mi east	14,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KBGM Binghamton, NY	145 mi south	17,200 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.
