Which radars cover Sheyenne?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMVX (Grand Forks, ND), about 86 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 Sheyenne	View
KMVX Grand Forks, ND	86 mi east-southeast	7,600 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KMBX Minot AFB, ND	90 mi west-northwest	8,100 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KBIS Bismarck, ND	106 mi southwest	10,500 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.
