Which radars cover Regan?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KBIS (Bismarck, ND), about 29 miles south-southwest. 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 Regan	View
KBIS Bismarck, ND	29 mi south-southwest	1,700 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KMBX Minot AFB, ND	87 mi north	7,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMVX Grand Forks, ND	152 mi east	18,600 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.
