Which radars cover Andrews?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KVAX (Moody AFB, GA), about 93 miles north. 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 Andrews	View
KVAX Moody AFB, GA	93 mi north	8,600 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KJAX Jacksonville, FL	96 mi northeast	9,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KTLH Tallahassee, FL	104 mi northwest	10,200 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.
