Which radars cover Shinglehouse?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCCX (State College, PA), about 73 miles south. 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 Shinglehouse | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCCX State College, PA | 73 mi south | 6,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBUF Buffalo, NY | 73 mi north-northwest | 6,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 114 mi east | 11,800 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.
