All the flood warnings and watches for Butler County- that were in effect for the majority of the week- are now in our rear-view mirror.
The county-wide Flash Flood Watch did expire on Thursday evening, but forecasters with the National Weather Service office in Pittsburgh were forced to issue another Flash Flood Warning just before midnight last night for west central Butler County due to flooding at Muddy Creek.
That watch expired at 8:30 a.m. Friday.
Skies are gradually clearing. The National Weather Service office in Pittsburgh is expecting sunny skies and a high of 71.

The summer solstice is the longest day of the year, as the Northern Hemisphere leans most toward the sun during Earth’s titled axis of rotation.
The equator will see exactly 12 hours of daylight, with winter starting in the southern Hemisphere.
