Date of Alert: July 14, 2025
Stay weather aware this evening, Concord! The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Special Weather Statement on July 14, 2025, at 7:47 PM EDT for our region. A strong thunderstorm, tracked by Doppler radar near Badin Lake, is moving northeast at 15 mph and is expected to impact southeastern Davidson, western Montgomery, southwestern Randolph, and eastern Stanly counties through 8:30 PM EDT.
What Does This Storm Mean for Concord Residents?
Hazard: Wind gusts up to 40 mph are possible. While this may sound moderate, gusty winds like these can cause real problems for homes, transportation, and daily routines. Tree limbs could come down, and loose outdoor objects may be sent flying—potentially damaging property or causing injury. It’s a smart move to secure patio furniture, grills, and yard decorations now.
If you’re planning to enjoy the outdoors this evening, such as a walk at Frank Liske Park or an early evening session at the Dorton Park courts, consider rescheduling or transitioning activities indoors until this weather alert passes. Summer is peak time for Concord’s outdoor recreation—parks, tennis matches, and walking trails are all popular, but safety should always come first.
Storm Impact: What You Need to Know About Your Roof
Strong winds are one of the main culprits behind weather-related roof damage during summer storms in Concord. Wind gusts can lift shingles, loosen flashing, and cause tree limbs to crash onto your roof. Curious how you can spot damage before it becomes a bigger problem?
How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After a Storm
- Visual Scan: From the ground, check for missing shingles, bent gutters, or visible debris on your roof.
- Check for Leaks: Inspect your attic and ceilings for new water stains or damp spots. These are signs water may have found a way inside.
- Look Around Your Yard: Shingles or roofing nails on the ground can indicate problems above.
- Inspect Vents and Flashing: Chimney flashing or vent boots that appear out of place may signal wind damage.
