Which radars cover Whitney Point?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBGM (Binghamton, NY), about 9 miles south. 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 Whitney Point | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 9 mi south | 500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KENX Albany, NY | 99 mi east | 9,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTYX Montague, NY | 100 mi north | 9,500 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.
