Which radars cover Radersburg?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KTFX (Great Falls, MT), about 88 miles north. 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 Radersburg | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KTFX Great Falls, MT | 88 mi north | 7,900 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KMSX Missoula, MT | 126 mi west-northwest | 13,800 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KBLX Billings, MT | 147 mi east | 17,600 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.
