Which radars cover Stockton?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDOX (Dover AFB, DE), about 53 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 Stockton	View
KDOX Dover AFB, DE	53 mi north	3,800 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KAKQ Wakefield, VA	115 mi southwest	11,900 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KLWX Sterling, MD	129 mi west-northwest	14,200 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.
