Which radars cover Brady?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTFX (Great Falls, MT), about 45 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 Brady	View
KTFX Great Falls, MT	45 mi south-southeast	3,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMSX Missoula, MT	121 mi west-southwest	12,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KBLX Billings, MT	214 mi southeast	32,800 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.
