Which radars cover Amalga?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 50 miles 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 Amalga	View
KMTX Salt Lake City, UT	50 mi southwest	3,500 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KSFX Pocatello, ID	95 mi north-northwest	8,900 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KRIW Riverton, WY	193 mi east-northeast	27,600 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.
