Which radars cover Wallingford?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCXX (Burlington, VT), about 72 miles north. 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 Wallingford | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCXX Burlington, VT | 72 mi north | 6,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KENX Albany, NY | 83 mi southwest | 7,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTYX Montague, NY | 137 mi west | 15,700 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.
