Good morning, Butler County. At 2:53 a.m., the National Weather Service observation at Butler County Regional Airport reported fair skies and 46 degrees with calm wind. The West Chester Township forecast was updated at 2:27 a.m. Saturday is expected to be mostly cloudy with a high near 68 and an east wind of 7 to 10 miles per hour.

Saturday night is forecast cloudy with a low around 53 and an east wind of 3 to 6 miles per hour. Sunday should be partly sunny with a high near 70. The National Weather Service lists a slight chance of showers after 3 p.m. Sunday.

Roads and transit

The Butler County Engineer’s Office continues to list Yankee Road closed just north of Hornet Drive for the Monroe High School driveway project. The posted through-traffic detour uses Todhunter Road, Salzman Road and State Route 63, with reopening expected November 20, weather permitting. Butler County RTA continues the R1 northbound early-voting detour through November 1, the R6 Hanover Street construction detour, and the temporary Third Street CincyLink stop while the Riverfront Transit Center is closed. Oxford SafeRide says November 1 service ends at 2 a.m.
