Which radars cover Jardine?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBLX (Billings, MT), about 112 miles east-northeast. 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 Jardine	View
KBLX Billings, MT	112 mi east-northeast	11,400 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KSFX Pocatello, ID	169 mi southwest	22,200 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KTFX Great Falls, MT	170 mi north-northwest	22,300 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.
