Severe weather and flooding in Alabama

Overview

In late September, the Storm Prediction Center issued a “Marginal Risk” for severe storms across several Alabama counties, including Tuscaloosa and Walker. The primary threats identified were lightning and wind gusts up to 60 mph.

By early October, weather conditions in Alabama escalated to include flash flood warnings in Barbour, Bullock, and Pike counties following heavy rainfall. Flood watches were also established for Mobile and Baldwin counties. During this period, meteorologists began monitoring a low-pressure system in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico with a 30% chance of tropical development. Additionally, a significant radar outage lasting over 24 hours affected the region from New Orleans to Tallahassee, leaving no estimate for service restoration.
