Which radars cover Weippe?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMSX (Missoula, MT), about 103 miles east-northeast. 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 Weippe	View
KMSX Missoula, MT	103 mi east-northeast	10,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KOTX Spokane, WA	120 mi northwest	12,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KPDT Pendleton, OR	148 mi west-southwest	17,700 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.
