Which radars cover Garden?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 68 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 Garden	View
KMTX Salt Lake City, UT	68 mi southwest	5,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KSFX Pocatello, ID	107 mi northwest	10,600 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KRIW Riverton, WY	171 mi east-northeast	22,500 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.
