Which radars cover Cherry Grove?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRTX (Portland, OR), about 20 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 Cherry Grove | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRTX Portland, OR | 20 mi west-southwest | 1,100 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KLGX Langley Hill, WA | 116 mi northwest | 12,100 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KATX Seattle/Tacoma, WA | 165 mi north | 21,300 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.
