⚠️ Weather Alerts
Continued well-above normal temperatures (especially through Monday) will cause increasing ice melt along the Platte, North Loup, Middle Loup, South Loup and Loup Rivers in central and south central Nebraska. This could result in the possible formation of localized ice jams. Although not a certainty, should any ice jams happen to develop, water levels could fluctuate as much as 1 to 3 feet in a very short time, causing flooding with little, if any notice. If any ice jam flooding is observed over the next few days along the Platte or Loup River systems in central/south central Nebraska, please report it immediately to the National Weather Service in Hastings.
