Which radars cover Milford?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBGM (Binghamton, NY), about 86 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 Milford | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 86 mi northwest | 7,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KENX Albany, NY | 95 mi north-northeast | 8,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 97 mi south-southeast | 9,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
