Which radars cover Crow Agency?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBLX (Billings, MT), about 58 miles west-northwest. 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 Crow Agency	View
KBLX Billings, MT	58 mi west-northwest	4,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KRIW Riverton, WY	182 mi south-southwest	25,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KGGW Glasgow, MT	184 mi north-northeast	25,400 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.
