Scattered showers continue through Thursday night; sunny for the weekend
BRIDGEPORT, W.Va (WDTV) - A few stationary systems, one to our north and one to our south, are providing the eastern half of the United States with rain and non-severe thunderstorms. Here in NCWV it’s no different. The precipitation is well needed, as all of our area is under some level of drought (in fact, over 99% of WV is in drought). Isolated to scattered rain will continue through Thursday night before the systems sink to our south. Stretches of mostly cloudy skies and even a few peeks of sun are likely during this time, but any showers that form could be heavy. Since we are still so dry, flooding shouldn’t be an issue, but if a very localized area gets hit with a few heavy showers in a short period of time, minor flash flooding can result.

WVU fall camp preview: Tight Ends
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.

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.
