Which radars cover Hyde Park?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCXX (Burlington, VT), about 28 miles west-southwest. 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 Hyde Park | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCXX Burlington, VT | 28 mi west-southwest | 1,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KGYX Portland, ME | 126 mi east-southeast | 13,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KENX Albany, NY | 157 mi south-southwest | 19,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
