Which radars cover Weitchpec?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBHX (Eureka, CA), about 57 miles south-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 Weitchpec	View
KBHX Eureka, CA	57 mi south-southwest	4,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMAX Medford, OR	79 mi northeast	6,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KBBX Beale AFB, CA	160 mi southeast	20,100 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.
