Which radars cover Hayesville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRTX (Portland, OR), about 51 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 Hayesville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRTX Portland, OR | 51 mi north | 3,600 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLGX Langley Hill, WA | 157 mi north-northwest | 19,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMAX Medford, OR | 201 mi south | 29,400 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.
