Kmlwx Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 We are in a unique area in that we get coverage from so many TDWRs. What doesn't look great on the main LWX radar can sometimes look a bit different on the more localized radars. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
