Which radars cover Tokeland?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLGX (Langley Hill, WA), about 29 miles north-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 Tokeland | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLGX Langley Hill, WA | 29 mi north-northwest | 1,700 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KRTX Portland, OR | 84 mi southeast | 7,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KATX Seattle/Tacoma, WA | 124 mi north-northeast | 13,400 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.
