NWS Alert: Flood Watch issued June 15 at 2:18AM EDT, in effect from 1PM EDT through 11PM EDT, by NWS Raleigh NC.
What Does Today’s Flood Watch Mean for Concord Residents?
With heavy rainfall saturating central North Carolina, including Cabarrus County and Concord, the National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch effective this afternoon and evening. Excessive runoff from today’s storms could lead to flooding in rivers, creeks, and low-lying areas. Urban streets and neighborhoods with poor drainage are at high risk.
If you live near a creek, flood-prone roadway, or an area that has flooded in the past, pay extra attention to local alerts and be prepared to act quickly.
Local Outdoor Activities Affected Today
Planning to visit the Tianyu Lights Festival at Concord Mills? This breathtaking outdoor lantern display runs through June 22, but today’s severe weather may impact your visit. Be sure to check the event updates before heading out and consider rescheduling if heavy rain persists.
Father’s Day celebrations are also happening across Cabarrus County. Many families might be planning outings or picnics, so keep a close eye on changing weather conditions and have a backup indoor plan ready.
How Flooding and Heavy Rain Can Impact Your Roof
Wondering how flooding and severe storms can affect your home’s roof? Excessive rainfall can expose weak spots, force water under shingles, and cause leaks that often go unnoticed until the next big storm. Even if your roof looks fine from the street, hidden damage is common after major weather events.
Preventative Steps to Minimize Severe Weather Roofing Damage
- Inspect Gutters and Downspouts: Make sure they’re clear of debris so water can flow freely away from your home.
- Check for Loose or Missing Shingles: High winds and heavy rain can lift or strip shingles, increasing your risk of leaks.
- Trim Overhanging Branches: Tree limbs can break and impact your roof, causing punctures or damaged shingles during storms.
- Look for Signs of Leaks: Stains on ceilings or walls, musty odors, and water drips are red flags after a flood watch.
