Which radars cover Lowman?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCBX (Boise, ID), about 51 miles southwest. 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 Lowman	View
KCBX Boise, ID	51 mi southwest	3,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KSFX Pocatello, ID	161 mi east-southeast	20,400 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KPDT Pendleton, OR	194 mi northwest	27,700 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.
