Which radars cover Nevada?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEAX (Kansas City, MO), about 67 miles north. 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.

Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
