Which radars cover Meadow Glade?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KRTX (Portland, OR), about 20 miles west. 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 Meadow Glade | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KRTX Portland, OR | 20 mi west | 1,100 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
