Which radars cover Lebam?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLGX (Langley Hill, WA), about 46 miles northwest. 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 Lebam	View
KLGX Langley Hill, WA	46 mi northwest	3,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KRTX Portland, OR	65 mi south-southeast	5,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KATX Seattle/Tacoma, WA	123 mi north-northeast	13,200 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.
