Forecasts come from the National Weather Service's own computer models, and current conditions from the nearest reporting weather station. Both are served through the weather API. A forecast is guidance, not a warning, and anything the Weather Service has actually issued is on the live map.

The written summaries on this page are generated from the forecast data above, not by a meteorologist. Each sentence is a reading of the same numbers you can see, and no forecaster has reviewed them.

Place data from the US Census Bureau. Coordinates are the Census internal point for Hillsboro, and the forecast is for that location, not for every address inside the city limits, and a large city can have real weather differences from one side to the other.

How well can the network see Hillsboro?

The nearest Doppler radar is KRTX (Portland, OR), 13 miles to the N. A WSR-88D's lowest routine scan sits half a degree above horizontal, and the earth curves away beneath it, so by the time that beam reaches Hillsboro its center is about 690 ft above ground. That is about as close as radar coverage gets in the United States: the lowest scan is still near the ground when it reaches Hillsboro, so low-level rotation and the leading edge of a gust front show up on it. Hillsboro is closer to its radar than 93% of US cities.

The closest instrument actually measuring the air is KHIO · Portland/Hillsboro Arpt on the ASOS/AWOS network, 1.7 miles away. Close enough that its readings are, for practical purposes, the conditions in town.

Beam height is the standard 4/3-earth approximation for the 0.5° scan and assumes normal refraction; it is where the center of the beam is, not its edges, and unusual temperature profiles bend it. Radar siting from the NWS WSR-88D network, station positions from the Oregon observing network as of this build.
