How well can the network see Sweet Home?
The nearest Doppler radar is KRTX (Portland, OR), 91 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 Sweet Home its center is about 8,400 ft above ground. At that range the beam overshoots the layer where severe weather organizes. The radar is describing the middle of the storm, not its base , which is why a warning for Sweet Home can look unsupported on the mosaic and still be right. Trust the warning over the picture.
The closest instrument actually measuring the air is KS12 · Albany Muni on the ASOS/AWOS network, 24 miles away. Far enough that "current conditions" for Sweet Home is an educated reading of somewhere else, worth knowing before you plan around a single temperature.
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.
