Date of Forecast: June 19, 2025
The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement for southeastern Catawba, northeastern Lincoln, and southwestern Iredell Counties, effective from 7:57 PM to approximately 8:15 PM EDT, June 19, 2025. Doppler radar detected a strong thunderstorm near Maiden, moving east at 25 mph, with wind gusts reaching up to 40 mph. While Concord is just outside the direct path, these conditions can quickly shift and bring similar hazards to our area.
Potential Impacts for Concord Residents
- Loose Objects & Debris: Wind gusts up to 40 mph are strong enough to blow around unsecured outdoor furniture, trash cans, and décor.
- Tree Limbs: Expect possible fallen branches, which can block roads, damage property, or strike power lines.
- Roof Risk: Even moderate storms can dislodge shingles, clog gutters, and start slow leaks—sometimes without obvious signs from street level.
If you’re outdoors, please seek shelter inside a sturdy building until the storm passes. Travel may be impacted by fallen limbs or sudden debris, so exercise caution if you must drive during or after the alert.
Spotlight: Local Outdoor Events & Warnings
Several community events are taking place today and this week in the greater Concord and Lake Norman region that may be affected by severe weather. For example, the LaLaCaboosa Downtown Music Series is scheduled to kick off June 19. Also, the Catawba County History Museum is hosting its Living Wax Museum Juneteenth event this evening. If you plan to attend, monitor weather updates and be prepared to move indoors if gusts and rain intensify.
Preventative Measures to Minimize Roof Storm Damage
Severe weather can strike quickly in Concord, especially during summer storm season. Here’s how you can get ahead of roof damage:
- Secure loose items in your yard to prevent them from becoming airborne hazards.
- Trim overhanging tree limbs to reduce the risk of impact damage.
- Check that gutters and downspouts are clear to handle sudden downpours.
- Visually inspect your roof (from the ground) for loose or missing shingles after the storm passes.
- Schedule a free professional inspection if you suspect even minor damage—hidden leaks can worsen quickly and may be covered by homeowners insurance depending on your policy and storm specifics.
