Which radars cover Nevis?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMVX (Grand Forks, ND), about 123 miles west-northwest. 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 Nevis	View
KMVX Grand Forks, ND	123 mi west-northwest	13,200 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KDLH Duluth, MN	125 mi east	13,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KMPX Minneapolis, MN	159 mi south-southeast	19,900 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.
