Which radars cover Fawn Lake Forest?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBGM (Binghamton, NY), about 67 miles 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 Fawn Lake Forest | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 67 mi northwest | 5,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KENX Albany, NY | 90 mi northeast | 8,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 113 mi south-southeast | 11,700 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.
