Bowman-Haley Reservoir Radar & Lake Map

Bowman-Haley Reservoir is located in North Dakota at coordinates 46.0200° N, 103.5200° W. These coordinates represent the hydrographic center point verified against the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and National Hydrography Dataset (NHD).

Our real-time lightning radar monitors electromagnetic atmospheric discharges within a 30-mile radius of Bowman-Haley Reservoir. Concentric safety rings indicate proximity: 5 miles (critical danger zone), 10 miles (15-minute arrival warning), 20 miles (basin caution), and 30 miles (perimeter monitoring). It tracks storm bearing, flash density, and evaluates the marine 30-30 safety rule.

The live radar overlay displays a real-time 6-frame precipitation loop powered by RainViewer and NOAA NEXRAD Doppler radar composites. It updates every 10 minutes to show incoming storms, rain, snow, and thunderstorm cells directly above Bowman-Haley Reservoir. You can pause, play, or scrub the timeline using the controls in the top-right corner of the map.

Bowman-Haley Reservoir features multiple shoreline access points. Launch sites typically provide concrete ramps, docks, and parking, though seasonal water levels and park permits may affect launch availability.

Bowman-Haley Reservoir has 4 mapped hydrological sensor stations. For continuous 30-day water level history, full-pool comparisons, and water temperature trends, check our dedicated water telemetry page.

Our Weather & Forecast page delivers 24-hour hour-by-hour wind timelines, peak gust forecasts, watercraft safety thresholds, and 7-day marine outlooks sourced directly from the National Weather Service.
