Which radars cover Springville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBUF (Buffalo, NY), about 31 miles north. 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 Springville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBUF Buffalo, NY | 31 mi north | 1,900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KCCX State College, PA | 115 mi south-southeast | 11,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 139 mi east | 16,000 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.
