Which radars cover Roberta?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KJGX (Robins AFB, GA), about 38 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 Roberta	View
KJGX Robins AFB, GA	38 mi east	2,500 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KFFC Atlanta, GA	55 mi northwest	4,000 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KMXX Maxwell AFB, AL	104 mi west	10,300 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.
