Which radars cover Hoback?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KSFX (Pocatello, ID), about 99 miles west. 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 Hoback	View
KSFX Pocatello, ID	99 mi west	9,400 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KRIW Riverton, WY	115 mi east	12,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KMTX Salt Lake City, UT	166 mi south-southwest	21,400 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.
