Which radars cover Bynum?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTFX (Great Falls, MT), about 56 miles 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 Bynum	View
KTFX Great Falls, MT	56 mi southeast	4,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMSX Missoula, MT	101 mi southwest	9,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KBLX Billings, MT	228 mi southeast	36,500 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.
