Warm weather brings a taste of spring to central and western United States
Associated Press— A warm front swept springlike weather across a large swath of the country Sunday in what is usually one of the coldest months of the year, sending people out of their homes to enjoy the rare winter respite but also bringing increased wildfire danger. In Omaha, Nebraska, the temperature Sunday broke 65 degrees on a day when the average high temperature is around the freezing mark, according to the National Weather Service. “Omaha is having its second warmest February on record in its 154-year history of tracking weather,” National Weather Service meteorologist Michaela Wood said Sunday. The National Weather Service cited the warmth, along with low humidity, winds gusting more than 35 mph in places, and dry winter vegetation in issuing fire danger alerts in an area stretching across parts of 11 states.
