Which radars cover Peacham?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCXX (Burlington, VT), about 51 miles west-northwest. 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 Peacham | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCXX Burlington, VT | 51 mi west-northwest | 3,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KGYX Portland, ME | 100 mi east-southeast | 9,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KENX Albany, NY | 153 mi southwest | 18,800 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.
