Date of Alert: June 29, 2025
The National Weather Service issued a Special Weather Statement at 6:43 PM EDT on June 29, 2025, warning of a strong thunderstorm moving through central Mecklenburg County, impacting areas near Charlotte and potentially reaching Concord. The alert remains in effect until 7:15 PM EDT. According to Doppler radar, this storm is producing wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-sized hail. These conditions can cause damage to property—including your roof—knock down tree limbs, and blow around unsecured outdoor objects.
What Does This Mean for Concord Residents?
Strong wind gusts and hail, even when small, pose risks for homeowners. These weather events can:
- Dislodge or crack shingles on your roof
- Cause minor hail dents or bruises in roofing materials
- Lead to leaks if damage is left unchecked
- Cause fallen branches or debris to impact your roofing and gutters
Transportation may be affected if debris ends up on roads, and infrastructure can suffer from power outages due to downed lines. If you’re outdoors in Concord or surrounding Mecklenburg County areas—especially if attending events—seek shelter immediately.
Local Outdoor Events This Evening
If your Sunday plans include heading out, be aware that several area events coincide with tonight’s storm alert:
- Backyard Birthday Bash at Monday Night Garden Brewing Co. (2:00 pm–6:00 pm, Charlotte)
- Celebrate America! (Symphony Park Summer Pops) at Symphony Park (8:15 pm, Charlotte)
- Justin Moyar Live at Rocky River Vineyards (Midland, NC)
If you’re attending these or any other outdoor gathering, pay close attention to weather updates and move indoors at the first sign of severe conditions.
How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After Storms
Once the storm passes and it’s safe to do so, checking your roof for damage is crucial. Not sure where to begin? Ask yourself:
- Do you see missing, lifted, or cracked shingles?
- Is there any debris or branches on your roof?
- Are there new water stains or leaks inside your home?
- Can you spot dents or bruising in roof or gutters from hail?
