Which radars cover Stockholm?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KABR (Aberdeen, SD), about 82 miles west-northwest. 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.

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
