Which radars cover Mildred?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KFWS (Dallas/Fort Worth, TX), about 68 miles west-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 Mildred	View
KFWS Dallas/Fort Worth, TX	68 mi west-northwest	5,400 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KGRK Central Texas, TX	111 mi southwest	11,200 ft	Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms
KSHV Shreveport, LA	148 mi east-northeast	17,700 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.
