| episode_narrative | Dry and warm conditions, along with gusty southwest winds, help fuel several fires near Lincoln. Temperatures that reached around 70 degrees combined with dew point readings in the teens to lower 20s lowered relative humidity values to less than 20 percent for several hours from late in the morning through mid afternoon on March 15th. Winds were southwest at 15 to 30 mph, but shifted to the northeast at 30 to 45 mph as a cold front pressed south by mid to late afternoon. The cooler air helped raise relative humidity readings, but only marginally until early evening when temperatures cooled more significantly. Several fires in the area quickly burned out of control due to the dry, windy weather. One near Lincoln, of unknown origin, caused around $200,000 worth of damage and threatened many structures was contained before doing much more damage. The other significant fire, in Seward county west of Lincoln, started when a controlled burn got out of control. This fire burned around 1,000 acres. In all it was estimated that at least a half dozen good-sized grassfires in southeast Nebraska this day according to a Lincoln fire investigator. |
