| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Neotsu | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRTX Portland, OR | 70 mi northeast | 5,700 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KLGX Langley Hill, WA | 147 mi north | 17,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMAX Medford, OR | 211 mi south-southeast | 32,000 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.
