CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WTVA) -- The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) released a tweet today saying that they are recommending a majority of Junior College sports be moved to the spring of 2021.

According to the statement, the NJCAA governing body will finalize their plans on Monday, July 13th. NJCAA President and CEO Dr. Christopher Parker said: "We must adjust accordingly to support and sustain NJCAA programs. The association as a whole is collectively working to provide the best opportunities to be successful on and off the field for our student athletes."

The big question for our area of course is, does the majority of sports include football? We will be tracking this very closely and will provide more information when it comes our way.

High pressure still tries to hang on to our area on Thursday, however a weak warm front will change the dominance of high pressure. This weak cold front will give us a chance for some isolated showers and thunderstorms at times.
