Some north central West Virginia pools push back opening dates
MORGANTOWN, (WBOY) — Most outdoor seasonal pools open Memorial Day weekend in West Virginia, but with chillier temperatures in the forecast, some pools are choosing to wait.
The Camp Muffly Pool in Monongalia County will be opening on May 31 instead of the originally scheduled May 24, the Monongalia County Parks & Recreation announced Tuesday.
The high temperature in Morgantown for Saturday is only expected to be 64 degrees, which is 10 degrees cooler than the normal high temperature.
The Randolph County Community Pool & Splashpad at the Elks has also pushed back its opening date to May 31. The pool said on Facebook Monday that delays in updates and repairs are the reason for the date change.
