Hot and sunny weekend, rainy and humid next week
BRIDGEPORT, W.Va (WDTV) - Cloud cover has lingered behind the front that crossed over us yesterday afternoon, but the precipitation is sitting to our south. High pressure is in control now and will remain in control through the weekend, keeping us dry and mostly sunny. Temperatures during this time will get warmer, potentially as high as 90 degrees in some western lowland locations. If the 90s aren’t reached on Saturday, it’s a little more likely on Sunday, with temps being a few degrees higher. This won’t turn into another heat wave-- temperatures will fall back to the mid-low 80s (lowlands) and mid-70s (mountains) thanks to incoming precipitation. But, humidity will jump significantly, making it feel fairly uncomfortable, especially as temperatures steadily rise throughout the week. As for the rain, it is expected to be heavy at times, especially within thunderstorms. Moderate to extreme drought conditions are being observed in NCWV, however, so any and all rain is welcome.

WVU fall camp preview: Defensive Line
It's about that time again, which is crazy because it feels like just yesterday I was writing the spring camp previews. Back then, football preparation was taking a backseat to the pending basketball coaching search. This time around, fall camp will be in the spotlight of the WVU sports world. Today we continue the position-by-position preview for preseason camp. The Mountaineers went 9-4 last season, including beating up on UNC in a bowl game that ended with Neal Brown being covered in mayonnaise. West Virginia football enters the 2024 season with significant wind in its sails, so fall camp should be particularly interesting to watch next month. At this current time, there is no media access schedule.
