Which radars cover Royer?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KCCX (State College, PA), about 37 miles north-northeast. 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 Royer	View
KCCX State College, PA	37 mi north-northeast	2,400 ft	Excellent — the lowest scan sees close to the ground
KPBZ Pittsburgh, PA	103 mi west	10,000 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KLWX Sterling, MD	108 mi south-southeast	10,900 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.
