Which radars cover Davenport?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOTX (Spokane, WA), about 25 miles east. 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 Davenport | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOTX Spokane, WA | 25 mi east | 1,400 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KPDT Pendleton, OR | 140 mi south-southwest | 16,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMSX Missoula, MT | 200 mi east | 29,100 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.
