Which radars cover Matamoras?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBGM (Binghamton, NY), about 88 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 Matamoras | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 88 mi northwest | 7,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
