Which radars cover Oregon?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDTX (Detroit, MI), about 72 miles north. 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 Oregon	View
KDTX Detroit, MI	72 mi north	5,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCLE Cleveland, OH	83 mi east	7,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KIWX Fort Wayne, IN	119 mi west	12,500 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.
