Which radars cover Pingree?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMVX (Grand Forks, ND), about 78 miles east-northeast. 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 Pingree	View
KMVX Grand Forks, ND	78 mi east-northeast	6,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KBIS Bismarck, ND	91 mi west-southwest	8,400 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KABR Aberdeen, SD	120 mi south-southeast	12,800 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.
