Which radars cover Forksville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBGM (Binghamton, NY), about 58 miles north-northeast. 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 Forksville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 58 mi north-northeast | 4,400 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KCCX State College, PA | 83 mi west-southwest | 7,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBUF Buffalo, NY | 149 mi northwest | 17,900 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.
