Which radars cover Lingle?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCYS (Cheyenne, WY), about 72 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 Lingle	View
KCYS Cheyenne, WY	72 mi south-southwest	5,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KUDX Rapid City, SD	157 mi north-northeast	19,600 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KFTG Denver/Boulder, CO	163 mi south	20,800 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.
