Which radars cover Dumont?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KABR (Aberdeen, SD), about 98 miles west. 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 Dumont	View
KABR Aberdeen, SD	98 mi west	9,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMVX Grand Forks, ND	132 mi north-northwest	14,800 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KFSD Sioux Falls, SD	148 mi south	17,800 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.
