Which radars cover Shorehaven?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOKX (Upton, NY), about 64 miles southeast. 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 Shorehaven | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOKX Upton, NY | 64 mi southeast | 4,900 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KENX Albany, NY | 74 mi north-northwest | 6,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 118 mi south-southwest | 12,400 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.
