Which radars cover Newfolden?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMVX (Grand Forks, ND), about 74 miles 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 Newfolden	View
KMVX Grand Forks, ND	74 mi southwest	6,100 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMBX Minot AFB, ND	208 mi west	31,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KDLH Duluth, MN	219 mi east-southeast	34,000 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.
