Which radars cover Allentown?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 9 miles northwest. 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 Allentown	View
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	9 mi northwest	500 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KFFC Atlanta, GA	94 mi northwest	8,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KVAX Moody AFB, GA	118 mi south	12,400 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms

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