Which radars cover New Baltimore?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KLWX (Sterling, MD), about 20 miles northeast. 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 New Baltimore | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KLWX Sterling, MD | 20 mi northeast | 1,100 ft | Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground |
