Which radars cover Pine Haven?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KUDX (Rapid City, SD), about 99 miles east. 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 Pine Haven	View
KUDX Rapid City, SD	99 mi east	9,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KRIW Riverton, WY	204 mi west-southwest	30,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KBLX Billings, MT	212 mi west-northwest	32,300 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.
