Butler received nearly 2 inches of rainfall Saturday, Aug. 31, a high amount for the time of year, but nothing record-breaking, according to a meteorologist.

Jason Frazier, a meteorologist with National Weather Service Pittsburgh, said Sunday that historically, the Butler County area typically gets a day or two that brings at least 2 inches of rainfall during the month of August.

Despite some calls to Butler County 911 reporting flooding Saturday evening and Saturday, night, Frazier said the weather service didn’t get any reports of serious flooding in the region.

“The whole scope of June through August, there are many years where a single-day amounts are well over 2 inches,” Frazier said. “Given the dry conditions, we have not heard of too much in the way of flooding and impacts.”

According to Frazier, the rain preceded a cold front that began sweeping through the area Sunday, bringing with it temperatures relatively cooler than the past week. He said temperatures in the Butler County area are predicted to dip into the 40s overnight, and it only be in the mid-70s during the day early in the week.

Sept. 1 is also the first day of meteorological fall, which Frazier said should mark the start of a decline in temperatures compared to the summer months. However, the area will still experience some hot weather over the coming weeks and months.

“On Wednesday, Thursday, we'll see those temperatures climb back up to upper 70s.” Frazier said.
