Which radars cover Cyr?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMSX (Missoula, MT), about 28 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 Cyr	View
KMSX Missoula, MT	28 mi east	1,700 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KOTX Spokane, WA	150 mi west-northwest	18,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KTFX Great Falls, MT	154 mi east-northeast	18,900 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.
