Which radars cover Taholah?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLGX (Langley Hill, WA), about 16 miles south-southeast. 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 Taholah	View
KLGX Langley Hill, WA	16 mi south-southeast	900 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KATX Seattle/Tacoma, WA	102 mi northeast	9,900 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KRTX Portland, OR	128 mi south-southeast	14,000 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.
