Which radars cover White Haven?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KOTX (Spokane, WA), about 108 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 White Haven	View
KOTX Spokane, WA	108 mi west-southwest	10,800 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KMSX Missoula, MT	115 mi southeast	11,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KTFX Great Falls, MT	201 mi east-southeast	29,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
