Which radars cover Anatone?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPDT (Pendleton, OR), about 88 miles west-southwest. 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 Anatone | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPDT Pendleton, OR | 88 mi west-southwest | 8,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KOTX Spokane, WA | 109 mi north-northwest | 11,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMSX Missoula, MT | 162 mi east-northeast | 20,600 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.
