Which radars cover Webster?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBUF (Buffalo, NY), about 69 miles west-southwest. 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 Webster | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBUF Buffalo, NY | 69 mi west-southwest | 5,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KTYX Montague, NY | 95 mi east-northeast | 8,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 101 mi southeast | 9,800 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.
