[python #UMK-725743]: nexrad level III plotting with Metpy

Greetings!

I think changing your call to pcolor to:

    plot = ax.pcolor(lat, lon, data, cmap=cmap, norm=norm, zorder = 0, 
transform=ccrs.PlateCarree())

In your original code, with CartoPy when you don't pass `transform`, it assumes 
the x/y values you pass in (the `lat` and `lon` arrays in this case) are in the 
same coordinates as your Axes, which in this case is a Lambert Conformal 
projection. To tell it they represent coordinates in a lat/lon projection, you 
need to pass `transform=ccrs.PlateCarree()`, as I've done above.

Hope this helps!
