| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Middletown Springs | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCXX Burlington, VT | 71 mi north | 5,800 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KENX Albany, NY | 78 mi southwest | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTYX Montague, NY | 129 mi west | 14,300 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.
