Which radars cover Addy?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOTX (Spokane, WA), about 48 miles south-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 Addy | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOTX Spokane, WA | 48 mi south-southeast | 3,300 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KPDT Pendleton, OR | 190 mi south-southwest | 26,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMSX Missoula, MT | 201 mi east-southeast | 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.
