The temperature record books are being rewritten in Nebraska after Monday‘s unusually warm weather.
The National Weather Service says new high temperature records were set Monday across the eastern two-thirds of the state from Omaha and Norfolk to North Platte and Imperial.
Falls City’s high temperature of 70 degrees eclipsed the old record of 65 degrees set in 1974, and was one degree shy of the all-time January high temperature of 71 degrees set on January 24, 1981.
Table Rock reported a record high of 69 degrees, breaking the old record of 63 degrees that was set in 1992.
The state‘s largest city hit 69 degrees, breaking Omaha‘s previous record of 60 set in 1974.
Lincoln reached 70 degrees. That broke a 1931 record of 60 degrees.
Norfolk reached 67 degrees - ten degrees better than the 1992 record of 57.
Grand Island and Hastings both hit 69 and Kearney reached 68. The previous record in all three of those cities of 64 was set in 1931.
North Platte hit 68 and broke the 1982 record of 66.
Imperial reached 67, topping the 1962 record of 63.
