Wednesday, March 23, 2022 at 1000 AM CT/ 0900 MT is the State of Nebraska Tornado Drill. NWS North Platte will be sending out the TEST warning as a Routine Weekly Test on NOAA Weather Radio as well as social media and NWS Chat.

NWS North Platte urges everyone to take this opportunity to practice your sheltering plan as if this were an actual warning. If this were a real warning, you should move a basement, an interior room, or a tornado/storm shelter if available. We also urge you to review your plans, practice your plans, and have multiple ways to receive severe weather watch and warning information.
