Which radars cover Victor?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBUF (Buffalo, NY), about 67 miles west. 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 Victor	View
KBUF Buffalo, NY	67 mi west	5,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KBGM Binghamton, NY	90 mi southeast	8,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KTYX Montague, NY	102 mi east-northeast	9,900 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.
