Which radars cover Unionville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KENX (Albany, NY), about 92 miles north-northeast. 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 Unionville	View
KENX Albany, NY	92 mi north-northeast	8,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KOKX Upton, NY	93 mi east-southeast	8,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KDIX Philadelphia, NJ	94 mi south	8,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
