Weather Alert: Special Weather Statement issued July 10 at 4:13PM EDT by the National Weather Service (NWS) Greenville-Spartanburg SC. The warning remains in effect until 4:45PM EDT and covers portions of southwestern Davie, east central Iredell, and northwestern Rowan counties.
What to Expect from This Thunderstorm
- Hazards: Wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-size hail
- Doppler Radar: Tracking a strong storm moving southeast at 15 mph
- Rainfall: Torrential rain with risk of localized flooding
- Potential Impact: Knocked-down tree limbs, blown-around objects, minor hail damage to outdoor items, and possible street flooding
While the core of this alert centers just north of Concord, the weather system may still bring strong winds and heavy rain to our area, especially if you live on the north side of town or have plans to travel nearby.
How Severe Weather Can Affect Your Roof
High winds and hail—even as small as peas—can damage roofing materials, gutters, skylights, and vents. You might notice:
- Loose or missing shingles
- Dented gutters and downspouts
- Granule loss on asphalt shingles
- Leaks around flashing or roof edges
- Debris accumulation in valleys or on flat roofs
Prompt action is key. Even minor hail and wind damage can lead to leaks and costly repairs if left untreated. Curious what it will cost to get your roof repaired or inspected after a storm? We offer free professional inspections and can help you with insurance documentation—don’t wait for problems to get worse!
Supplementary Focus: How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After Storms
After the storm passes, it’s important to visually inspect your roof from the ground—never climb onto your roof yourself, especially after a weather event. Here’s what to look for:
- Shingle Damage: Look for missing or curled shingles, especially at the edges or ridges.
- Hail Hits: Check for subtle dents or "bruises" on shingles or metal surfaces.
- Gutter Issues: Watch for sagging, separation, or dents in gutters and downspouts.
- Leaking or Water Stains: Check ceilings or attic spaces for fresh water spots.
- Debris: Branches or heavy debris on the roof can cause punctures or trapped moisture.
If you spot any of these issues, contact us right away for a free inspection.
Weather and Outdoor Activities: Stay Safe
With severe weather expected this afternoon and evening, it’s a good idea to postpone any outdoor activities, such as hiking at Frank Liske Park or enjoying a family picnic at Les Myers Park. Unstable weather brings fast-moving hazards, so always seek shelter indoors when storms approach.
