Old Man Winter may have finally worn out his welcome in Butler County.

Meteorological conditions indicate the bitter temperatures won’t return anytime soon, according to the National Weather Service.

Meteorologist John Darnley said the next two weeks show normal temperatures for March.

That means no below zero readings like the county had Thursday night and early today.

The weather service reports the coldest spot in the county overnight was the Portersville area with minus 12 degrees. The county airport hit minus 8.

Darnley said weather patterns along the West Coast indicate warmer air coming here.

“A zonal flow is good news for keeping Arctic air to the north,” he said.

The Butler forecast is for a low of 18 tonight and a high of 34 Saturday. The extended forecast shows temperatures reaching into the 50s by midweek.
