Which radars cover Halliday?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBIS (Bismarck, ND), about 84 miles east-southeast. 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 Halliday	View
KBIS Bismarck, ND	84 mi east-southeast	7,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMBX Minot AFB, ND	99 mi northeast	9,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KGGW Glasgow, MT	208 mi west-northwest	31,100 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.
