Which radars cover Jericho?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCXX (Burlington, VT), about 9 miles west. 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 Jericho | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCXX Burlington, VT | 9 mi west | 400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KGYX Portland, ME | 142 mi east-southeast | 16,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KENX Albany, NY | 143 mi south-southwest | 16,800 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.
