Alert Overview: The National Weather Service (NWS) Raleigh has issued a Special Weather Statement at 3:48 PM EDT on June 28, 2025. This alert covers southeast Forsyth, Davidson, northwestern Montgomery, and western Randolph counties, with the impact window through 4:45 PM EDT. While the main storm line is tracking north from Lexington to High Rock Lake and Badin Lake, Concord and surrounding areas should remain vigilant as thunderstorms can shift rapidly.
Hazards to Watch For
- Wind Gusts: Up to 50 mph. These can topple tree limbs and send unsecured outdoor items flying.
- Hail: Pea-sized hail can cause minor but noticeable roof and vegetation damage.
- Torrential Rain: Flooding may occur in low-lying areas. Never drive through flooded roadways.
- Lightning: Frequent cloud-to-ground lightning. Strikes can happen up to 10 miles away from the storm.
Impact on Local Residences & Infrastructure
Storms like these bring real risks for Concord homeowners. Wind gusts can loosen shingles, damage flashing, and even cause limbs to puncture roofs. Hail, even at pea size, can crack, dent, or bruise roofing materials—sometimes leaving subtle damage that’s easy to miss until leaks appear. Gutters and downspouts are also at risk of clogging from storm debris.

- Look for missing or curled shingles from ground level.
- Check gutters and downspouts for granule buildup or visible dents.
- Inspect the attic for leaks, water stains, or daylight showing through the roof boards.
- Examine soffits, fascia, and vents for damage or dislodgement.
