Which radars cover Primrose?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is PAHG (Kenai, AK), about 75 miles west-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 Primrose	View
PAHG Kenai, AK	75 mi west-northwest	6,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
PAIH Middleton Island, AK	121 mi east-southeast	12,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
PAKC King Salmon, AK	282 mi west-southwest	52,600 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.
