Which radars cover Bruno?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDLH (Duluth, MN), about 44 miles north-northeast. 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 Bruno	View
KDLH Duluth, MN	44 mi north-northeast	3,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMPX Minneapolis, MN	108 mi south-southwest	10,800 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KARX La Crosse, WI	185 mi south-southeast	25,500 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.
