Which radars cover Springdale?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBLX (Billings, MT), about 78 miles east. 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 Springdale	View
KBLX Billings, MT	78 mi east	6,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KTFX Great Falls, MT	131 mi north-northwest	14,600 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KMSX Missoula, MT	201 mi west-northwest	29,400 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.
