Which radars cover Canby?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRTX (Portland, OR), about 34 miles north-northwest. 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 Canby	View
KRTX Portland, OR	34 mi north-northwest	2,100 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KLGX Langley Hill, WA	145 mi north-northwest	17,200 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KPDT Pendleton, OR	188 mi east	26,400 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
