Which radars cover Clyde Park?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBLX (Billings, MT), about 96 miles east. 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 Clyde Park	View
KBLX Billings, MT	96 mi east	9,100 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KTFX Great Falls, MT	115 mi north-northwest	11,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KMSX Missoula, MT	180 mi west-northwest	24,400 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.
