Alert Window: Through 6:45 PM EDT
Storm Details for Concord and Surrounding Areas
The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement for Catawba, Northeastern Lincoln, and Southwestern Iredell counties. While Concord, NC, is nearby, residents should stay alert as the storm progresses.
- Wind Gusts: Up to 40 mph
- Hail: Up to half an inch in diameter
- Flooding Risk: Torrential rainfall may lead to localized flooding
What does this mean for you? Gusty winds and hail are capable of knocking down tree limbs, damaging outdoor furniture, and—most importantly—causing damage to your roof and home exterior. Even minor hail can dent shingles, crack tiles, or bruise underlying roofing materials, leading to potential leaks and costly repairs down the road.
How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After a Storm
Severe weather like today’s thunderstorm can cause damage that isn’t always obvious from the ground. Here’s what every Concord homeowner should do as soon as the storm clears:
- Check for visible signs: Look for missing shingles, dents, or granule loss from hail impact.
- Inspect gutters and downspouts: Clogged or damaged gutters are a sign that debris or hail has struck your roof.
- Look for leaks or water stains: Check your ceilings and attic for any signs of moisture, which could indicate a compromised roof.
- Walk the perimeter: Tree limbs, branches, or debris near your home could signal impact areas on your roof.

- Stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel during the alert window.
- Do not drive through flooded roadways—turn around, don’t drown.
