A Special Weather Statement was issued at 6:43 PM EDT by the National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg, warning of a strong thunderstorm near Uptown Charlotte moving north at 5 mph. This alert is in effect through 7:15 PM EDT and impacts areas throughout west-central Mecklenburg County, including Charlotte, Freedom Park, The Plaza, Charlotte Douglas Airport, Paw Creek, and Croft—just a short drive from Concord, NC.
Severe Weather Details & Why You Should Pay Attention
- Hazards: Wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-sized hail
- Rainfall: Torrential rain with the potential for localized flooding
- Possible Impacts: Downed tree limbs, unsecured objects blown about, minor hail damage to outdoor belongings, and slick roadways
What does this mean for local homeowners and event-goers? Besides the obvious safety issues, your roof could face damage from even a brief but intense storm like this. Wind and hail are two of the most common causes of sudden roofing problems in our region.
Local Outdoor Events at Risk This Evening
Planned to be outside in Mecklenburg County tonight? Two notable events are happening in the area during the storm window:
- Live Under the Oaks Music Series at Birkdale Village (6:00 pm – 8:00 pm). If you’re headed out, monitor the weather and seek shelter if conditions deteriorate.
- Outdoor Circus and Parakeet Exhibit – Family-friendly fun, but definitely at the mercy of this evening’s storms.
If you’re attending, keep an eye on the sky and have an indoor backup plan. Safety first!
How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After Storms
Wondering what you should do once the thunderstorm passes? Even small hail or moderate wind can lead to problems that aren’t always obvious from the ground. Here’s a quick checklist:
- Look for missing or curled shingles, especially near roof edges or peaks
- Check your gutters for an accumulation of shingle granules—a sign of hail impact
- Inspect your attic or upper floors for new water stains or leaks
- Take note of any visible dents on metal surfaces (gutters, flashing, vents)
- Walk your property for fallen branches or debris that could have struck your roof
