Which radars cover Conrad?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTFX (Great Falls, MT), about 56 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 Conrad	View
KTFX Great Falls, MT	56 mi south-southeast	4,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMSX Missoula, MT	123 mi southwest	13,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KBLX Billings, MT	225 mi southeast	35,600 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.
