Which radars cover Bovill?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOTX (Spokane, WA), about 81 miles 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 Bovill	View
KOTX Spokane, WA	81 mi northwest	7,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMSX Missoula, MT	114 mi east	11,800 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KPDT Pendleton, OR	143 mi west-southwest	16,700 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.
