Thunderstorm Alert: What’s Happening?
The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement for the Concord area due to a strong thunderstorm tracking near Charlotte Douglas Airport, moving south at 15 mph. Residents in southwestern Mecklenburg, as well as key locations like Steele Creek, Carowinds, and Lake Wylie, are advised to be on alert. This storm is expected to bring wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-size hail.
Potential Local Impacts
- Residential Damage: Wind gusts can knock down tree limbs and send unsecured outdoor items flying—potentially damaging roofing, gutters, or siding.
- Transportation: Downed limbs can block roads, and slippery conditions may occur from hail or rain. Take caution if you’re driving.
- Infrastructure Concerns: Minor hail impacts can damage outdoor units (like HVAC), roof shingles, and skylights. Even small hail can bruise shingles and lead to leaks down the line.
Outdoor Activities Affected
Planning to get outdoors today? The Garden Helpers at Quest event is scheduled for June 25, 2025, from 8:00–10:00 AM at one of Mecklenburg County’s Nature Centers. If you’re participating, keep an eye on the sky and be prepared to seek shelter if conditions worsen.
Preventative Measures to Minimize Roof Damage
Worried about what this storm could mean for your home? Here’s what you can do before and after the storm hits:
- Secure loose outdoor furniture, decorations, and grills to prevent windborne damage.
- Trim overhanging branches to reduce the risk of impact on your roof.
- Close windows and check that gutters and downspouts are clear to prevent water backup.
- After the storm, visually inspect your roof from the ground for missing shingles, dents, or debris buildup—especially if hail was observed.
