Which radars cover Hallwood?

The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KDOX (Dover AFB, DE), about 66 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 Hallwood	View
KDOX Dover AFB, DE	66 mi north	5,200 ft	Good — most storms and steady rain or snow show clearly
KAKQ Wakefield, VA	99 mi southwest	9,500 ft	Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation
KLWX Sterling, MD	128 mi northwest	14,000 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.
