Which radars cover Sagaponack?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOKX (Upton, NY), about 31 miles west. 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 Sagaponack | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOKX Upton, NY | 31 mi west | 1,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KBOX Boston, MA | 92 mi northeast | 8,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 132 mi west-southwest | 14,700 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.
