Which radars cover Verlot?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KATX (Seattle/Tacoma, WA), about 35 miles west. 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 Verlot | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KATX Seattle/Tacoma, WA | 35 mi west | 2,200 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
| KLGX Langley Hill, WA | 129 mi west-southwest | 14,200 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
