Which radars cover Manning?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBIS (Bismarck, ND), about 100 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 Manning | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KBIS Bismarck, ND | 100 mi east-southeast | 9,600 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KMBX Minot AFB, ND | 119 mi northeast | 12,600 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KGGW Glasgow, MT | 191 mi west-northwest | 27,100 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.
