Which radars cover West Brattleboro?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KENX (Albany, NY), about 77 miles west-southwest. 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 West Brattleboro	View
KENX Albany, NY	77 mi west-southwest	6,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KBOX Boston, MA	97 mi southeast	9,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KCXX Burlington, VT	118 mi north-northwest	12,400 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.
