Which radars cover Westhampton?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOKX (Upton, NY), about 11 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 Westhampton	View
KOKX Upton, NY	11 mi west	600 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KBOX Boston, MA	110 mi northeast	11,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KDIX Philadelphia, NJ	111 mi west-southwest	11,300 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.
