Which radars cover Stroudsburg?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDIX (Philadelphia, NJ), about 83 miles south-southeast. 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 Stroudsburg | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 83 mi south-southeast | 7,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |

| KOKX Upton, NY | 122 mi east | 13,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
