Which radars cover Hansville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KATX (Seattle/Tacoma, WA), about 20 miles north. 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 Hansville	View
KATX Seattle/Tacoma, WA	20 mi north	1,100 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KLGX Langley Hill, WA	90 mi southwest	8,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KRTX Portland, OR	153 mi south	18,700 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.
