Severe Thunderstorm Moving Through Our Area
The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement for areas near Concord and surrounding communities. At 10:53 PM EDT, Doppler radar tracked a strong thunderstorm northeast of Mooresville, moving northeast at 15 mph. This system is expected to impact southeastern Iredell and northwestern Rowan Counties—areas just north of Concord—through 11:30 PM EDT.
Hazards to Expect:
- Wind gusts up to 50 mph
- Half-inch hail
Potential Impacts:
- Falling tree limbs and blowing unsecured outdoor objects
- Minor hail damage to vehicles, plants, and outdoor property
- Localized power disruptions
Homeowners in Concord should be especially alert. Even though the center of the storm is tracking just north, fast-moving weather systems like this can bring sudden wind and hail to residential neighborhoods, often with little warning.
Local Outdoor Events and Safety Considerations
Tonight also marks the kickoff of the Faith 4th of July Celebration in Rowan County, running from June 27 through July 5. If you’re planning to attend or participate, keep a close eye on weather updates and be prepared to seek shelter indoors quickly if conditions worsen. Outdoor events may be delayed or disrupted, so be sure to check with organizers before heading out.
If you’re seeking safer ways to enjoy the start of summer in Concord, consider indoor alternatives like the Concord Mills shopping center or the SEA LIFE Aquarium. For outdoor fun on fair-weather days, local parks and greenways are a great choice—but tonight, safety comes first.
How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After Storms
