A surge of warm air will produce a swath of rain and thunderstorms from Texas to the Ohio Valley. The combination of melting snow and rain can lead to flooding in the Ohio Valley. North of the surge of warm air, a swath of snow will extend from Wyoming and Colorado to Minnesota, Wis- consin and northern Michigan. Blizzard conditions may develop in parts of Minnesota for a brief time as colder air charges in on gusty winds. Some rain will fall on the Southwest.

Previous attempts to cap- ture the symbolic city have failed, and hours into Mon- day's operation, the military said it still hadn't entered Ti- krit, indicating a long battle lies ahead. Retaking it will help Iraqi forces secure a major supply link for any fu- ture operation to retake Mo- sul, Iraq's second-largest city which has been under mili- tant rule since June. State-runAl-Iraqiyatelevi- sion said that forces were at- tacking from different direc- tions, backed by artillery and airstrikesbyIraqifighterjets. It said the militants were dis- lodged from some areas out- sidethecity,butseveralhours into the operation, it gave no additional details. Tikrit, the provincial cap- ital of Salauhddin prov- ince, 130 kilometers north of Baghdad, fell to the Is- lamic State group last sum- mer, along with Mosul and other areas in the country's Sunni heartland. U.S. military officials have said a coordinated military mission to retake Mosul will likely begin in April or May and involve up to 25,000 Iraqi troops. But the Amer- icans have cautioned that if the Iraqis aren't ready, the offensive could be delayed. The U.S.-led coalition launching airstrikes target- ing the Islamic State group was not involved in the Ti- krit operation, Iraqi officials said. A Pentagon spokesman, ArmyCol. Steve Warren,said the U.S. was alerted to the offensive before it started Monday but was not asked to provide air power. "Right now we are not providing any air power to support the Iraqi operation in the city of Tikrit," War- ren told reporters in Wash- ington. "We did note the Iraqi government's state- ments that they are empha- sizing minimization of col- lateral damage, and we are continuing to monitor it." MIDDLE EAST Iraq launches operation to retake Tikrit from IS By Vladimir Isachenkov The Associated Press MOSCOW The 23-year- old Ukrainian model who was with slain opposition leader Boris Nemtsov tear- fully recounted Monday their last dinner in a chic Red Square restaurant and their walk onto a nearby bridge — but said she did not see the gunman who pulled the trigger. The emotional account by Anna Duritskaya came amid a swirl of speculation about who was responsible for the high-profile assassi- nation and what it means for Russia. While state-run and Kremlin-controlled media focused on a theory that the killing was a provo- cation aimed at staining President Vladimir Putin, his critics are holding the Russian leader responsible for creating an atmosphere that encouraged the crime by fanning nationalist, anti-Western sentiments and vilifying the opposi- tion. Duritskaya said she has been questioned exten- sively by authorities. The Ukrainian Foreign Minis- try said she has flown home to her native Ukraine, the Interfax news agency re- ported late Monday. In her first public com- ments since the killing, Du- ritskaya said in an inter- view with Russia's indepen- dent Dozhd television that she waited for Nemtsov to meet her Friday night at the Bosco Cafe, a pricey restaurant in the former GUM department store on Red Square. He had just given a radio interview in which he had slammed Pu- tin's "mad, aggressive pol- icy" on Ukraine. They dined and then walked across a bridge near St. Basil's Cathedral, heading for Nemtsov's apartment across the Mos- cow River from the Krem- lin, she said, her eyes well- ing with tears. Duritskaya said didn't see the man who shot Nemtsov, only a car speed- ing up. "I don't know where he came from, but he was be- hind," she said of the gun- man. "I didn't see the man. I turned round and all I saw was a light-colored car. I saw neither the brand nor the license plate of the car that was driving away." After Nemtsov was shot, she saw a snowplow ap- proaching them on the bridge and she said she asked its driver how to call police. The driver gave her the number, then drove away, she added. TV Center, a station con- trolled by the Moscow city government, broadcast a poor-resolution video from a web camera that it said showed Nemtsov and Du- ritskaya shortly before he was killed. A vehicle that TVC identified as a snow- plow moved slowly behind the couple, obscuring the view of the shooting. TV Center then circled what it said was the suspected killer jumping into a pass- ing car. The video, which could not be independently ver- ified, contradicted the ini- tial statement by police, who said Nemtsov was shot from a passing car. Investigators said they are looking into several possible links for Nemtsov's slaying, including an at- tempt to destabilize the state, Islamic extremism, the Ukraine conflict and his personal life. They have offered a reward of 3 mil- lion rubles (nearly $50,000) for any information. Tens of thousands of supporters marched Sun- day through central Mos- cow in a silent tribute to Nemtsov. Others mourned him in St. Petersburg and other European cities.
