The National Weather Service on Friday issued a rare warning for part of the Colorado Front Range as hurricane-force winds and tinder dry conditions boosted the threat of wildfire across several counties, while flood warnings were issued in Oregon as rivers there swelled from heavy rain.
It marked another day of severe weather in parts of the United States, with forecasters issuing warnings for everything from more winter weather bearing down on North Dakota to red flag warnings in Nebraska and Texas and flood warnings from Washington south into California.
