Which radars cover Larimore?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMVX (Grand Forks, ND), about 30 miles south-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 Larimore	View
KMVX Grand Forks, ND	30 mi south-southeast	1,800 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KMBX Minot AFB, ND	153 mi west-northwest	18,700 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KBIS Bismarck, ND	166 mi west-southwest	21,500 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.
