Which radars cover Liberty?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCCX (State College, PA), about 64 miles southwest. 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 Liberty | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCCX State College, PA | 64 mi southwest | 5,000 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 73 mi northeast | 6,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBUF Buffalo, NY | 127 mi northwest | 14,000 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.
