Which radars cover Sugar Grove?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBUF (Buffalo, NY), about 73 miles north-northeast. 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 Sugar Grove | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBUF Buffalo, NY | 73 mi north-northeast | 6,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |

| KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA | 110 mi south-southwest | 11,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
