Which radars cover Silver Springs?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBUF (Buffalo, NY), about 39 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 Silver Springs	View
KBUF Buffalo, NY	39 mi west-northwest	2,500 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KBGM Binghamton, NY	112 mi east-southeast	11,400 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KCCX State College, PA	120 mi south	12,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
