Which radars cover Town and Country?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOTX (Spokane, WA), about 10 miles west-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 Town and Country | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOTX Spokane, WA | 10 mi west-southwest | 500 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KPDT Pendleton, OR | 156 mi south-southwest | 19,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMSX Missoula, MT | 168 mi east-southeast | 21,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
