Northeast Weather Radar - Live Doppler Map

🌇️ Northeast Weather & Live Doppler Radar Guide

The Northeast Corridor has four distinct seasons and some of the most varied weather in the United States. Winter brings nor'easters: powerful coastal storms that deliver heavy snow, ice and coastal flooding from Boston to Washington. Summer brings humid heat and severe thunderstorms, while autumn tropical remnants can drop extreme rainfall on already saturated ground.

📡 NOAA NEXRAD Stations: KOKX (New York City)

Our interactive Northeast radar connects directly to NOAA Level-III NEXRAD stations across the region, including KOKX (New York City). This dual-polarization S-band Doppler radar detects horizontal and vertical hydrometeor dimensions, allowing meteorologists and residents to distinguish between rain, snow, sleet, hail cores, and tornadic debris signatures across the densely populated Northeast Corridor.

🎨 How to Read Doppler Reflectivity (dBZ Scale)

Radar reflectivity measures precipitation density in decibels of Z (dBZ). Use this color reference when monitoring approaching storms on the Northeast radar:

⚠️ Seasonal Severe Storm Threats in Northeast

Nor'easters are the signature Northeast threat: Doppler radar tracks their rain-snow line, heavy snow bands and coastal wind fields in real time. In warmer months the same radar tracks severe thunderstorms, flash flooding in urban corridors, and the remnants of Atlantic hurricanes moving up the East Coast.
