Which radars cover Masthope?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBGM (Binghamton, NY), about 68 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 Masthope | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 68 mi northwest | 5,500 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KENX Albany, NY | 89 mi north-northeast | 8,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 113 mi south-southeast | 11,600 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.
