Which radars cover Humptulips?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLGX (Langley Hill, WA), about 10 miles 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 Humptulips | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLGX Langley Hill, WA | 10 mi southwest | 500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KATX Seattle/Tacoma, WA | 96 mi northeast | 9,000 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KRTX Portland, OR | 116 mi south-southeast | 12,000 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.
