Which radars cover Kerrville?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEWX (San Antonio, TX), about 70 miles east-southeast. 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 Kerrville	View
KEWX San Antonio, TX	70 mi east-southeast	5,700 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KDFX Laughlin AFB, TX	87 mi southwest	7,800 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KGRK Central Texas, TX	114 mi east-northeast	11,800 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.
