Strong Thunderstorm Advisory: What Concord Homeowners Should Know
If you’re in the Concord, NC area this evening, pay close attention to the latest National Weather Service alert for a strong thunderstorm moving east at 10 mph near Charlotte and projected to impact surrounding communities. With wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-sized hail, today’s weather could spell trouble for homes, vehicles, and outdoor events near our community.
Key Impacts for Local Residents and Infrastructure
- Wind Gusts Up to 40 MPH: These can knock down tree limbs, disrupt transportation, and damage unsecured outdoor items.
- Hail Risk: Even pea-sized hail can cause minor roof, gutter, and siding damage—especially to older or previously compromised materials.
- Disrupted Outdoor Activities: If you had plans for local recreation—like walking the Carolina Thread Trail or visiting Frank Liske Park—consider rescheduling or moving your activities indoors until the storm passes.
Roofing Expert Advice: How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After Storms
Curious whether your roof can handle tonight’s conditions? After any significant weather event, especially those with hail and strong winds, it’s wise to inspect your home’s exterior. Here’s how:
- Check for missing or curled shingles from ground level.
- Look for scattered granules in your gutters or downspouts—this can be an early sign of hail impact.
- Inspect attic ceilings for any damp spots or new water stains.
- Examine siding and gutters for dents or paint chipping consistent with hail strikes.

Staying Safe and Proactive During Severe Weather
