The city of North Platte is declaring a local SNOW ALERT which usually means that a SNOW EMERGENCY is probable.
 
A SNOW ALERT means weather conditions are favorable for a heavy snowfall, and it will usually be used prior to the more serious SNOW EMERGENCY. The purpose of a SNOW ALERT is to give you more advance warning to move your vehicles from snow routes before conditions require officials to activate the SNOW EMERGENCY.
