Which radars cover Tully?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBGM (Binghamton, NY), about 42 miles south. 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 Tully | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 42 mi south | 2,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KTYX Montague, NY | 70 mi north-northeast | 5,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KENX Albany, NY | 105 mi east | 10,300 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.
