Forecasts come from the National Weather Service's own computer models, and current conditions from the nearest reporting weather station. Both are served through the weather API. A forecast is guidance, not a warning, and anything the Weather Service has actually issued is on the live map.
Chazy sits at 44.8565°N, 73.4607°W in Clinton County, New York. The forecast above is drawn for that point from the National Weather Service's own computer models: a seven-day outlook, and a finer-grained one covering the next eighteen hours where it reaches, and the radar and alert panels show what the Weather Service has out over the area right now.
Place data from the US Census Bureau. Coordinates are the Census internal point for Chazy, and the forecast is for that location, not for every address inside the city limits, and a large city can have real weather differences from one side to the other.
The nearest Doppler radar is KCXX (Burlington, VT), 28 miles to the SSE. A WSR-88D's lowest routine scan sits half a degree above horizontal, and the earth curves away beneath it, so by the time that beam reaches Chazy its centre is about 1,700 ft above ground. That is about as close as radar coverage gets in the United States: the lowest scan is still near the ground when it reaches Chazy, so low-level rotation and the leading edge of a gust front show up on it. Chazy is closer to its radar than 74% of US cities.
The closest instrument actually measuring the air is KPBG · Plattsburgh Intl on the ASOS/AWOS network, 15 miles away. Far enough that "current conditions" for Chazy is an educated reading of somewhere else, worth knowing before you plan around a single temperature.
Beam height is the standard 4/3-earth approximation for the 0.5° scan and assumes normal refraction; it is where the centre of the beam is, not its edges, and unusual temperature profiles bend it.
