Which radars cover Erlands Point?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KATX (Seattle/Tacoma, WA), about 42 miles north-northeast. 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 Erlands Point | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KATX Seattle/Tacoma, WA | 42 mi north-northeast | 2,800 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KLGX Langley Hill, WA | 74 mi west-southwest | 6,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KRTX Portland, OR | 131 mi south | 14,600 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.
