What’s Happening in Concord and Nearby?
A strong thunderstorm is impacting our neighbors just west of Concord, with Doppler radar indicating wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-size hail. While the storm’s core is focused on west central Mecklenburg and northeastern Gaston counties, storms like this can shift quickly and may affect Concord residents—especially if you're outside or have plans to attend local events.
Local Outdoor Events Affected Today
- Carolina Open Air is happening in Charlotte—just a short drive from Concord—through June 29. Expect delays or possible weather-related changes.
- Backyard Birthday Bash at Monday Night Garden Brewing runs today, June 29, from 2:00 to 6:00 PM. If you’re outdoors, keep an eye on the sky and consider moving activities inside until the storm passes.
Why This Alert Matters for Your Home
Strong winds and hail—even at the pea-sized level—can cause surprising damage to roofs, siding, and outdoor property. Gusts up to 40 mph may knock down limbs or blow around unsecured outdoor objects. Minor hail damage can lead to leaks or shingle loss that may go unnoticed—until the next big rain.
Preventative Measures to Minimize Roofing Damage
- Secure Loose Items: Bring in or tie down patio furniture, grills, and decorations to prevent flying debris.
- Trim Trees and Branches: Overhanging limbs can break off and damage your roof, gutters, or vehicles.
- Check Gutters and Downspouts: Clear any debris so rainwater can flow freely, reducing risk of water backup or leaks.
- Close Windows and Skylights: Prevent rain and wind from entering and causing interior damage.
