How well can the network see Milton-Freewater?
The nearest Doppler radar is KPDT (Pendleton, OR), 28 miles to the SW. 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 Milton-Freewater its center is about 1,700 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 Milton-Freewater, so low-level rotation and the leading edge of a gust front show up on it. Milton-Freewater is closer to its radar than 74% of US cities.
The closest instrument actually measuring the air is KALW · Walla Walla Rgnl on the ASOS/AWOS network, 12 miles away. Near enough to be representative on most days, though a summer thunderstorm can soak one and miss the other entirely.
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.
