Which radars cover Noxon?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOTX (Spokane, WA), about 89 miles west-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 Noxon	View
KOTX Spokane, WA	89 mi west-southwest	8,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMSX Missoula, MT	106 mi southeast	10,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KTFX Great Falls, MT	207 mi east	31,000 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.
