Which radars cover Fawn Grove?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLWX (Sterling, MD), about 76 miles southwest. 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 Fawn Grove | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 76 mi southwest | 6,400 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDOX Dover AFB, DE | 83 mi southeast | 7,200 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KDIX Philadelphia, NJ | 109 mi east | 11,000 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.
