Which radars cover Lyman?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMTX (Salt Lake City, UT), about 112 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 Lyman	View
KMTX Salt Lake City, UT	112 mi west	11,400 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KRIW Riverton, WY	152 mi northeast	18,600 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KSFX Pocatello, ID	173 mi northwest	23,000 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.
