Which radars cover Sheridan?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRTX (Portland, OR), about 48 miles north-northeast. 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 Sheridan	View
KRTX Portland, OR	48 mi north-northeast	3,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KLGX Langley Hill, WA	144 mi north-northwest	16,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KMAX Medford, OR	211 mi south	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.
