Which radars cover Sheridan?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KEWX (San Antonio, TX), about 83 miles west. 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 Sheridan	View
KEWX San Antonio, TX	83 mi west	7,200 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KGRK Central Texas, TX	94 mi north-northwest	8,700 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KHGX Houston, TX	96 mi east	9,000 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation

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