Which radars cover Turin?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTYX (Montague, NY), about 16 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 Turin | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTYX Montague, NY | 16 mi west-northwest | 900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KENX Albany, NY | 99 mi southeast | 9,500 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 103 mi south-southwest | 10,000 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.
