Meteorological autumn begins

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.”
