Greetings!

So I replied on Gitter, but capturing here just as well. MetPy has 
azimuth_range_to_lat_lon--you only need to convert the x/y values to az/range 
values:

  
https://unidata.github.io/MetPy/latest/api/generated/metpy.calc.azimuth_range_to_lat_lon.html?highlight=azimuth#metpy.calc.azimuth_range_to_lat_lon

It would also be a good idea for us to do this work for the user when we 
improve the interface for the NEXRAD code. If you're interested, feel free to 
open a feature request:

Hope that helps,
