Which radars cover Green?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMAX (Medford, OR), about 81 miles south-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 Green | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KMAX Medford, OR | 81 mi south-southeast | 7,100 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KRTX Portland, OR | 178 mi north | 24,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KBHX Eureka, CA | 189 mi south-southwest | 26,600 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.
