Which radars cover Roscoe?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBGM (Binghamton, NY), about 58 miles west-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 Roscoe	View
KBGM Binghamton, NY	58 mi west-northwest	4,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KENX Albany, NY	62 mi northeast	4,800 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KOKX Upton, NY	130 mi southeast	14,400 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.
