Which radars cover Deerwood?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDLH (Duluth, MN), about 84 miles east-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 Deerwood	View
KDLH Duluth, MN	84 mi east-northeast	7,400 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMPX Minneapolis, MN	113 mi south	11,600 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KMVX Grand Forks, ND	177 mi west-northwest	23,900 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.
