The Nebraska Weather Story

Alerts & Climate
Route Shield · May–Jul
Tornadoes & Severe Live
Nebraska sits at the top of Tornado Alley — the dryline, the derechos that cross the whole state in a night, and every watch and warning the Storm Prediction Center has out right now.
Services · Oct–Apr
Blizzards & Ground Blizzards
The ground blizzards that close I-80 west of Grand Island, the Panhandle's upslope snows, and the March bomb cyclones that come with them.
Warning
Hail & Wind Soon
Nebraska takes more billion-dollar hail than almost anywhere — the giant-hail corridor from the Panhandle to the Platte, and the wind that comes with it.
Recreation
Rivers & Flooding Soon
The Platte, the Elkhorn, the Niobrara and the Republican — ice jams, crests and the years everyone measures against.
Recreation · Feb–Apr
Cranes & the Platte Soon
Half a million sandhill cranes on eighty miles of river, and the flows and weather that decide where they roost.
Guide
Climate & Records
