Which radars cover Mount Eagle?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCCX (State College, PA), about 16 miles west-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 Mount Eagle | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCCX State College, PA | 16 mi west-southwest | 900 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 123 mi northeast | 13,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
