FOX8 Meteorologist Charles Ewing predicts Triad temperatures will hit 90s in May

Charles Ewing’s summer predictions:

• Hurricane season? The hurricane season will be busy, especially August through October.
• When will our first 90-degree day hit? May 18
• How many days above 90 degrees? 35
• How many 100+ degree days? 0
• Will it be a dry or wet summer? The summer will begin dry, then end with above-normal rainfall.

Please note that these predictions are a fun and friendly competition between the FOX8 weather team. While climatology and meteorology play a role in these predictions, there is no way to predict these exact dates and numbers with certainty. With that said, join us as we have some fun with weather!

The summer of 2023 was strange in that we didn’t hit 90 until July 1. I think it’s back to normal for the summer of 2024. We will probably see our first 90-degree day on May 18.

Scattered summertime thunderstorms and the high elevation of the Piedmont normally prevent us from hitting 100 degrees.

It’s April and the Atlantic Basin is plenty warm. I think this will set the stage for an active hurricane season, especially August through October.
