Overview: Special Weather Statement – Storm Threat in Rowan County
The National Weather Service has issued a special weather statement for Southwestern Davie and Northwestern Rowan Counties, effective through 5:15 PM this evening. At 4:47 PM, Doppler radar detected a strong thunderstorm about 5 miles southwest of Mocksville, moving southeast at 15 mph. Key threats include wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-size hail. These conditions can lead to downed tree limbs, unsecured objects being blown around, and minor hail damage to outdoor property—including your home’s roof.
Local Impact: What This Means for Your Home & Community

How to Recognize & Inspect Roof Damage After Thunderstorms
Storms with high winds and hail—even as small as peas—can cause significant roofing issues that aren’t always visible from the ground. Wondering what to check for after the storm passes?
- Shingle Damage: Look for curled, cracked, or missing shingles, particularly on roof edges or ridgelines.
- Hail Impact: Small dents or bruises in shingles, gutters, or metal flashing.
- Leaks Indoors: Water stains or discoloration on your ceilings can signal a new leak.
- Debris Accumulation: Branches or debris on your roof can cause punctures or block gutters, leading to water backup.
