Which radars cover Hatton?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPDT (Pendleton, OR), about 75 miles south. 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 Hatton | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KPDT Pendleton, OR | 75 mi south | 6,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KOTX Spokane, WA | 84 mi northeast | 7,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KATX Seattle/Tacoma, WA | 197 mi west-northwest | 28,600 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.
