Which radars cover Windsor?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBGM (Binghamton, NY), about 20 miles west-northwest. 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 Windsor | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 20 mi west-northwest | 1,100 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KENX Albany, NY | 88 mi east-northeast | 7,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTYX Montague, NY | 116 mi north | 12,100 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.
