Date of Alert: June 24, 2025
Heat Advisory Details: Issued at 9:36 AM EDT on June 24, 2025, and in effect until 8:00 PM EDT on June 25, 2025. The National Weather Service (NWS) Raleigh has predicted heat index values up to 108°F for portions of central North Carolina, including Concord. This level of heat can be dangerous, especially for vulnerable populations and those spending time outdoors.
What Does a Heat Advisory Mean for Concord Residents?
When the heat index climbs above 100°F, local infrastructure, transportation, and—most importantly—homes are affected. High temperatures can put significant stress on your roofing system, especially if it's already aging or has minor damage from previous storms. Shingles can warp, sealants may deteriorate, and excessive heat can even accelerate existing leaks. If your attic or roof is not properly ventilated, the risk of heat buildup increases, potentially leading to higher cooling costs and preventable damage.
Impact on Local Events
Several outdoor activities and events are scheduled in Cabarrus County during this heat advisory window. For instance, the Queen Charlotte Fair at Route 29 Pavilion in Concord runs through July 5. If you plan to attend, be sure to follow all NWS recommendations for staying hydrated and cool. Another local favorite is the "Tour de France: Reserve-Level Wine Tasting" hosted by Cellar Door Wine Shop on June 24 at 7:00 PM—it's a great way to enjoy the evening while being mindful of the heat.
How to Protect Your Roof During Extreme Heat
Worried your roof might not be ready for these soaring temperatures? Here are some preventative measures to help minimize heat-related roof damage:
- Inspect for Pre-Existing Damage: Walk around your home and look for missing shingles, warped areas, or cracked flashing. Not sure what to look for? Request a free, professional inspection—we’re happy to help.
- Ensure Attic Ventilation: Proper airflow reduces heat buildup and prolongs the lifespan of your roofing materials. Poor ventilation is a common culprit behind blistering and warped shingles during heat waves.

- Stay Informed: Monitor your attic temperature and watch for any signs of water stains on ceilings—these can be early warning signs that urgent repairs are needed.
