Which radars cover McCamey?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KMAF (Midland/Odessa, TX), about 56 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.

Radar	Distance	Lowest beam over McCamey	View
KMAF Midland/Odessa, TX	56 mi north	4,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KSJT San Angelo, TX	103 mi east	10,100 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KDFX Laughlin AFB, TX	173 mi southeast	22,900 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.
