Which radars cover Ackermanville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDIX (Philadelphia, NJ), about 75 miles southeast. 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 Ackermanville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 75 mi southeast | 6,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 102 mi north-northwest | 9,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KOKX Upton, NY | 124 mi east | 13,300 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.
