Which radars cover Goodridge?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMVX (Grand Forks, ND), about 82 miles west-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 Goodridge	View
KMVX Grand Forks, ND	82 mi west-southwest	7,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KDLH Duluth, MN	191 mi east-southeast	26,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KABR Aberdeen, SD	223 mi southwest	35,100 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.
