Which radars cover Reynolds?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 44 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 Reynolds	View
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	44 mi east	3,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KFFC Atlanta, GA	62 mi north-northwest	4,800 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL	99 mi west	9,400 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.
