Which radars cover Holley?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRTX (Portland, OR), about 95 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 Holley | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRTX Portland, OR | 95 mi north | 8,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KMAX Medford, OR | 157 mi south | 19,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KLGX Langley Hill, WA | 202 mi north-northwest | 29,600 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.
