Which radars cover Wilder?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCXX (Burlington, VT), about 71 miles 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 Wilder	View
KCXX Burlington, VT	71 mi northwest	5,800 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KGYX Portland, ME	104 mi east	10,200 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KENX Albany, NY	116 mi southwest	12,000 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.
