Which radars cover Halsey?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRTX (Portland, OR), about 92 miles north. 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 Halsey	View
KRTX Portland, OR	92 mi north	8,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMAX Medford, OR	160 mi south	20,200 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KLGX Langley Hill, WA	195 mi north-northwest	28,000 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.
