Which radars cover Almont?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBIS (Bismarck, ND), about 35 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 Almont	View
KBIS Bismarck, ND	35 mi east	2,200 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KMBX Minot AFB, ND	119 mi north-northeast	12,500 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KABR Aberdeen, SD	172 mi east-southeast	22,800 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.
