Which radars cover Uniontown?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOTX (Spokane, WA), about 83 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 Uniontown | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KOTX Spokane, WA | 83 mi north-northwest | 7,300 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KPDT Pendleton, OR | 103 mi southwest | 10,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KMSX Missoula, MT | 151 mi east-northeast | 18,300 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.
