Which radars cover Hudson?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSHV (Shreveport, LA), about 96 miles 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 Hudson	View
KSHV Shreveport, LA	96 mi northeast	9,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KPOE Fort Polk, LA	107 mi east	10,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KLCH Lake Charles, LA	124 mi southeast	13,500 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.
