Which radars cover Lyndonville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCXX (Burlington, VT), about 58 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 Lyndonville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCXX Burlington, VT | 58 mi west | 4,300 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KGYX Portland, ME | 97 mi east-southeast | 9,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KENX Albany, NY | 170 mi southwest | 22,200 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.
