Which radars cover Antelope?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPDT (Pendleton, OR), about 106 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 Antelope	View
KPDT Pendleton, OR	106 mi east-northeast	10,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KRTX Portland, OR	122 mi west-northwest	13,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KMAX Medford, OR	220 mi south-southwest	34,200 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.
