Which radars cover Carmine?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGRK (Central Texas, TX), about 57 miles 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 Carmine	View
KGRK Central Texas, TX	57 mi northwest	4,300 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KEWX San Antonio, TX	86 mi west-southwest	7,600 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KHGX Houston, TX	107 mi east-southeast	10,700 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.
