Which radars cover Conicville?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLWX (Sterling, MD), about 65 miles east. 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 Conicville | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 65 mi east | 5,100 ft | Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly |
