Which radars cover Huntington?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCBX (Boise, ID), about 79 miles 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 Huntington | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCBX Boise, ID | 79 mi southeast | 6,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPDT Pendleton, OR | 121 mi northwest | 12,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KOTX Spokane, WA | 231 mi north | 37,300 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.
