Which radars cover Adrian?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCBX (Boise, ID), about 45 miles east-southeast. 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 Adrian	View
KCBX Boise, ID	45 mi east-southeast	3,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KPDT Pendleton, OR	161 mi north-northwest	20,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KLRX Elko, NV	208 mi south	31,200 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.
