Thunderstorm Details and What It Means for Concord Residents

This evening, a strong thunderstorm is tracking just southwest of Huntersville and heading north at 5 mph. According to the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg, radar indicates wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-sized hail. The primary hazards include:

  • Wind gusts up to 40 mph – enough to knock down tree limbs, damage unsecured outdoor items, and stress your home’s roof.
  • Pea-size hail – minor hail damage to cars, roofs, gutters, and siding is possible.

What does this mean for your home in Concord? Sudden gusty winds and hail, even at smaller sizes, can loosen or crack shingles, dent flashing or gutters, and—over time—lead to costly leaks or water damage. Are your roof and property ready for another summer storm?

Local Outdoor Events Affected by the Storm

  • Sundown Sounds: Fix You at Pearl Street Park – This evening’s outdoor concert in Charlotte is scheduled for June 12, 7:30–9:00 PM. If you plan to attend, monitor weather updates and consider indoor alternatives if conditions worsen.
  • Juneteenth Festival of the Carolinas – This multi-day outdoor festival runs June 12–15 in Plaza Midwood. If you’re celebrating tonight, be aware of the approaching thunderstorm and seek cover at the first sign of wind or hail.

Staying weather-aware is critical during local events. If you’re heading out, bring a weatherproof jacket and have a backup plan to move indoors quickly. Gusty winds and hail can escalate rapidly—and the safety of you and your household comes first.

How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After a Storm

After any thunderstorm involving wind or hail, it’s smart to inspect your roof for potential damage. Wondering what to look for? Here’s a handy checklist:

  • Missing, cracked, or curled shingles
  • Dented gutters, vents, or flashing
  • Granules from shingles collecting in gutters or around downspouts
  • Leaks or water stains inside your attic or ceiling
  • Branches or debris on the roof surface
