The National Weather Service forecast for river levels along the North Platte River at North Platte have again been adjusted. Tuesday, it was forecasted that the river might reach the benchmark level of 7.8 feet by 7am this morning. However, this morning’s reading measures the river at 7.68 feet, and the latest forecast indicates that the river will be at 7.7 feet by 1pm Wednesday afternoon. While being accurate within 0.2 feet, the difference is significant because river flows along the North Platte at Cody Park are believed to bring major flooding to the park at the 7.8 foot mark. With little rain in the upcoming forecast, the North Platte is currently projected to match a record high 7.7 feet this afternoon before falling steadily to 7.5 feet by Friday June 24.
