Which radars cover Wurtsboro Hills?

Radar	Distance	Lowest beam over Wurtsboro Hills	View
KENX Albany, NY	72 mi north-northeast	5,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KBGM Binghamton, NY	87 mi west-northwest	7,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KOKX Upton, NY	99 mi east-southeast	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.
