Colder conditions are moving in following a relatively mild Thanksgiving in Butler County.

Meteorologists warn that an eastward-moving cold front could create hazardous road conditions on untreated surfaces for those heading home after the holiday, but that the weather is nothing unusual.

“I think we're pretty seasonal,” said Pat Herald, meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Pittsburgh. “We had a couple hard freezes earlier in the month, almost a week of hard freezes earlier in November, so this stuff is all on schedule.”

Outlook over the weekend

Friday is predicted to stay cold, with clouds and some snow showers, and a high near 32 degrees Fahrenheit. According to the National Weather Service, the total daytime snow accumulation is not predicted to exceed one inch. Low temperatures overnight are predicted to fall to 24 degrees and windy.

Saturday will see slightly warmer temperatures, with a high of 37 degrees and an overnight low of 27 degrees. Daytime Saturday is predicted to be dryer and party sunny, while snow showers are predicted overnight with a 70% chance of precipitation.

“(Saturday) is going to be a pretty good travel day,” Herald said. “It's going to dry up a bit. Saturday night, there is a potential for a little bit of light snow coming across, and Sunday morning, you can expect more snow showers around. People headed home then should be careful.”

Rain and snow showers are predicted during the day on Sunday, with a high around 38 degrees and an overnight low around 25 degrees.

“We're not looking at any advisory, but that light accumulation on surfaces could have local hazardous conditions on anything that's untreated,” Herald said. “This time of year, untreated surfaces do become hazardous, but we do live in Pennsylvania.”
