Butler County isn’t finished with winter weather just yet, despite being buffeted by Winter Storm Izzy this past Monday.

The National Weather Service predicts that temperatures will dive below 32 degrees Fahrenheit and stay there throughout the weekend.

“We’re not going to see any temperatures above freezing at least through Tuesday,” said Lee Hendricks, a meteorologist at the Pittsburgh NWS office. “Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there is going to be any kind of a warm-up coming real soon.”

Some rain and snowfall with little to no snow accumulation is predicted for Wednesday night, with a low around 16 degrees Fahrenheit. Thursday will be relatively clear, with a high near 22 during the day and a low around 0 degrees at night.

Friday is expected to be the peak of the cold air, with a high of only 19 degrees and a low between 0 and -5 degrees, Hendricks said. Saturday and Sunday will see some slight increases in temperature, but highs will still not rise above the mid-20 degree range.

The cold air is not predicted to bring more snow, Hendricks said.

“This is just a lot of cold air coming down, but not much moisture coming in with it,” he said.
