Which radars cover Kremlin?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTFX (Great Falls, MT), about 97 miles southwest. 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 Kremlin	View
KTFX Great Falls, MT	97 mi southwest	9,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KGGW Glasgow, MT	161 mi east	20,300 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KBLX Billings, MT	200 mi south-southeast	29,300 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.
