Which radars cover Neilton?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLGX (Langley Hill, WA), about 23 miles south-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 Neilton | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLGX Langley Hill, WA | 23 mi south-southwest | 1,300 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KATX Seattle/Tacoma, WA | 84 mi northeast | 7,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KRTX Portland, OR | 124 mi south-southeast | 13,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
