Date of Alert: June 26, 2025
The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for Concord, NC and surrounding areas—Cabarrus, Davie, Iredell, Mecklenburg, Rowan, and Union Counties—from 2 PM to 8 PM EDT, June 26. This warning was officially issued at 9:28 AM by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC, and calls for residents to brace for heat index values up to 108°F. If you live or work in the region, it’s time to take this alert seriously—not only for your health, but also for your home.
How Extreme Heat Can Impact Your Roof and Home
Wondering why a heat advisory matters for your roof? Sustained high temperatures and blazing sun can cause:
- Shingle damage: Asphalt shingles may blister, curl, or lose granules under prolonged heat.
- Structural stress: Heat can cause roofing materials and underlying supports to expand and contract, potentially leading to cracks or weakened seals.
- Increased risk of leaks: Existing vulnerabilities—like lifted shingles or old sealant—can worsen in the heat, exposing your home to summer storms later on.
Curious what it will cost to get your roof inspected or repaired after a heatwave? Contact us for a free professional inspection—no obligation and no stress.
Local Outdoor Events Affected by the Heat Advisory
Planning to catch some local fun today? If you’re heading to the Open Mic Night at Cabarrus Brewing Co. (7:00–9:30 pm) or considering attending the Village Park Concert Series in nearby Kannapolis, be extra cautious. Both are outdoor events scheduled right during the heat advisory window. Grab plenty of water, wear light clothing, and seek shade whenever possible if you plan to attend.
Preventative Measures to Minimize Severe Weather Roofing Damage
High heat today can set the stage for future problems—especially if a summer storm rolls in tomorrow. Here’s what you can do now to protect your home:
- Check your attic for proper ventilation—trapped hot air can cook your roof from the inside out.
- Look for visible signs of shingle wear or buckling from ground level.
- Trim overhanging tree branches that can drop debris or rub against hot shingles.
- Clear gutters to prevent water back-up in case of sudden storms.
- Schedule a professional roof inspection—especially if your home is older or has a history of leaks.
