Which radars cover Eden?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KABR (Aberdeen, SD), about 49 miles west-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 Eden	View
KABR Aberdeen, SD	49 mi west-southwest	3,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMVX Grand Forks, ND	132 mi north	14,800 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KFSD Sioux Falls, SD	144 mi south-southeast	17,100 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.
