Which radars cover Deer Park?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOTX (Spokane, WA), about 21 miles south-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 Deer Park	View
KOTX Spokane, WA	21 mi south-southwest	1,200 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KPDT Pendleton, OR	171 mi south-southwest	22,400 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KMSX Missoula, MT	173 mi east-southeast	23,000 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.
