Which radars cover Pine Level?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMXX (Maxwell AFB, AL), about 39 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 Pine Level	View
KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL	39 mi east	2,500 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KBMX Birmingham, AL	45 mi north-northwest	3,100 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KEOX Fort Rucker, AL	97 mi southeast	9,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
