Which radars cover Condon?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPDT (Pendleton, OR), about 72 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 Condon	View
KPDT Pendleton, OR	72 mi east-northeast	5,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KRTX Portland, OR	139 mi west-northwest	16,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KOTX Spokane, WA	208 mi northeast	31,300 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.
