Which radars cover Foundryville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBGM (Binghamton, NY), about 79 miles north. 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 Foundryville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 79 mi north | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCCX State College, PA | 93 mi west | 8,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 124 mi southeast | 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.
