Which radars cover The Hideout?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBGM (Binghamton, NY), about 62 miles north-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 The Hideout | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBGM Binghamton, NY | 62 mi north-northwest | 4,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
