Which radars cover Eagle Creek Colony?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTFX (Great Falls, MT), about 86 miles south. 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 Eagle Creek Colony | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTFX Great Falls, MT | 86 mi south | 7,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KMSX Missoula, MT | 173 mi southwest | 22,900 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGGW Glasgow, MT | 213 mi east | 32,400 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
