Which radars cover Milroy?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCCX (State College, PA), about 26 miles west-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 Milroy	View
KCCX State College, PA	26 mi west-northwest	1,500 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KLWX Sterling, MD	121 mi south	12,800 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KBGM Binghamton, NY	132 mi northeast	14,800 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.
