Which radars cover Robinson?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KPBZ (Pittsburgh, PA), about 57 miles west. 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 Robinson	View
KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA	57 mi west	4,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KCCX State College, PA	70 mi east-northeast	5,600 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KLWX Sterling, MD	132 mi southeast	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.
