Which radars cover Harding?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMPX (Minneapolis, MN), about 91 miles south-southeast. 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 Harding	View
KMPX Minneapolis, MN	91 mi south-southeast	8,300 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KDLH Duluth, MN	100 mi east-northeast	9,600 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMVX Grand Forks, ND	183 mi west-northwest	25,300 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.
