Strong Thunderstorms Expected: What Concord Residents Need to Know
The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement for our area this evening, with strong thunderstorms bringing wind gusts up to 50 mph and torrential rainfall. While the core of this alert is focused on Davidson, northwestern Randolph, and southwestern Guilford counties, Concord and the surrounding Cabarrus County region can also expect unstable weather and possible storm effects.
How Will This Storm Impact Your Home, Transportation, and Local Activities?
- Residences: Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and potentially cause roof damage. Unsecured outdoor items may become dangerous projectiles.
- Transportation: Heavy rain may lead to localized flooding. Remember: never drive through flooded roadways. Lightning could also pose hazards to travelers.
- Infrastructure: Downed limbs and heavy rain can block drains, overwhelm gutters, and threaten roofing systems—especially on older or previously damaged roofs.
Frequent lightning strikes are possible, sometimes occurring up to 10 miles away from the storm’s center. Make sure to seek shelter indoors or in a vehicle as storms approach.
