Why This Matters for Homeowners in Concord, NC
While Concord is just outside the immediate counties listed, these regional systems can bring rapid changes in weather and potential risks to our area as well. Gusty winds like these can knock down tree limbs, damage roofs, and blow unsecured objects into your home or vehicles. Torrential rainfall raises the risk of localized flooding—never drive through flooded roadways!
Worried about tonight’s weather affecting your plans? A major local event, the Traveling Exhibit: Moonshine and Motorsports, is scheduled for July 1st at 759 State Park Rd, Troutman, NC—right near the path of tonight’s storms. If you’re attending or have other outdoor plans, please monitor the forecast closely and seek indoor shelter as advised.
