Which radars cover Krupp?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOTX (Spokane, WA), about 66 miles east-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 Krupp | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOTX Spokane, WA | 66 mi east-northeast | 5,200 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
| KPDT Pendleton, OR | 119 mi south | 12,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KATX Seattle/Tacoma, WA | 172 mi west-northwest | 22,600 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.
