Which radars cover Marsing?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCBX (Boise, ID), about 29 miles east. 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 Marsing	View
KCBX Boise, ID	29 mi east	1,800 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KPDT Pendleton, OR	179 mi north-northwest	24,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KLRX Elko, NV	194 mi south	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.
