Which radars cover Lyerly?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KHTX (Huntsville, AL), about 53 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 Lyerly	View
KHTX Huntsville, AL	53 mi northwest	3,900 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KFFC Atlanta, GA	86 mi southeast	7,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KBMX Birmingham, AL	116 mi southwest	12,000 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.
