Today's Date: June 26, 2025
Weather Alert Details: On June 26 at 2:22 PM EDT, the National Weather Service in Raleigh issued a Special Weather Statement for our region. Doppler radar tracked a strong thunderstorm near Winston-Salem, moving southwest at 10 mph. The alert is in effect for southwestern Forsyth and northwestern Davidson Counties through 3:30 PM EDT. Hazard: Wind gusts up to 40 mph, potentially strong enough to knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects.
What Does This Mean for Concord Residents?
While the storm’s center is just north of our area, Concord, NC can still feel aftershocks of sudden weather changes—especially with unpredictable summer storms. Wind gusts of 40 mph may not sound extreme, but they’re more than enough to cause minor to moderate roof damage, disrupt transportation with debris on roads, and lead to scattered power outages if tree limbs fall onto power lines. Unsecured outdoor furniture, play equipment, or loose décor can become hazardous projectiles.
Should You Rethink Outdoor Plans?
Summer brings everyone outdoors, but with today’s strong storm risk, it’s smart to stay weather-aware. If you were considering activities like a visit to Dorton Park for walking or using the sports fields, or planning to take the kids to The Speedpark at Concord Mills for go-karting and mini golf, it’s wise to check weather conditions and err on the side of caution. Sudden gusts can make even simple outings unexpectedly risky—especially for families or seniors.
Preventative Measures: How to Minimize Roof Damage from Severe Weather
- Secure loose items in your yard, on decks, and patios. Even lightweight chairs or umbrellas can cause roof or window damage if airborne.
- Trim nearby tree limbs that could snap and fall onto your home during strong wind events.
- Clear gutters and downspouts to prevent blockages that could lead to water pooling or leaks if heavy rain accompanies the wind.
- Inspect your roof visually for any loose or missing shingles and address these issues promptly.
- If you have an attic, check for signs of leaks after the storm—water stains or damp insulation are early warnings.
- Consider scheduling a free professional inspection if your roof is older or has previous storm repairs.
