Which radars cover Cheyenne?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFDR (Frederick, OK), about 95 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 Cheyenne	View
KFDR Frederick, OK	95 mi south-southeast	8,900 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KVNX Vance AFB, OK	116 mi northeast	12,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KAMA Amarillo, TX	117 mi west-southwest	12,300 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.
