Which radars cover North Harlem Colony?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGGW (Glasgow, MT), about 101 miles east-southeast. 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 North Harlem Colony | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGGW Glasgow, MT | 101 mi east-southeast | 9,800 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KTFX Great Falls, MT | 144 mi west-southwest | 17,000 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KBLX Billings, MT | 189 mi south | 26,500 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
