Which radars cover Elwood?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 33 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 Elwood	View
KMTX Salt Lake City, UT	33 mi south-southwest	2,000 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KSFX Pocatello, ID	103 mi north-northwest	10,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KRIW Riverton, WY	210 mi east-northeast	31,800 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.
