Update, Oct. 4, 2026: Tornado Warning for south central Baldwin County (4:02 to 4:30 p.m. CDT)

At 4:02 p.m. CDT (2:02 p.m. Pacific) on Sunday, Oct. 4, 2026, the National Weather Service in Mobile issued a Tornado Warning for south central Baldwin County until 4:30 p.m. CDT (2:30 p.m. Pacific). Radar showed rotation in a severe thunderstorm about 4 miles east of Fort Morgan, or 10 miles east of Dauphin Island, moving northeast at 5 mph.

At 4:20 p.m. CDT the Weather Service continued the warning. The storm was then about 5 miles east of Fort Morgan, still moving northeast at 5 mph, and staying over mainly rural areas of south central Baldwin County.

The Weather Service said: take cover now. Go to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. Stay away from windows. If you are outside, in a mobile home, or in a vehicle, move to the closest sturdy shelter. Torrential rain with this storm can also cause flash flooding, so do not drive through flooded roads.

The warning, in plain words

The sender is the National Weather Service office in Mobile. The headline says the warning was issued October 4 at 1:10 p.m. CDT and lasts until October 4 at 4:15 p.m. CDT.

Severity is Severe. Urgency is Immediate. Certainty is Likely. The message type is Alert. The status is Actual. The action on the VTEC line is new, not a continuation of an older warning. The VTEC string is /O.NEW.KMOB.FF.W.0040.261004T1810Z-261004T2115Z/. The World Meteorological Organization line is WGUS54 KMOB 041810.

The hazard line says flash flooding caused by thunderstorms. The source line says radar indicated. The detection parameter says radar indicated. The live text product does not print a damage-threat word such as Considerable.

The impact line names small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets, underpasses, and other poor drainage and low-lying areas. Water can cover a road with no warning.

The county code on the alert is ALC003 for Baldwin County, Alabama. The SAME code is 001003. The alert id is urn:oid:2.49.0.1.840.0.05726ea3fff9f329176acb371c439b13c3ee8a01.001.1.

The Weather Service instruction is short: turn around, don’t drown when you meet a flooded road. Most flood deaths happen in vehicles.

Which part of the county

This is not a warning for every acre of Baldwin County. The bulletin names southeastern Baldwin County, in southwestern Alabama.

Foley, Magnolia Springs, Summerdale, and Elberta sit in that southeastern part. Miflin, Marlow, River Park, and Clay City are on the same Weather Service list. The spelling Miflin is the spelling on the bulletin.

The rain line is on the official text. Between 2 and 3 inches have already fallen. Additional rainfall of 1 to 2 inches is possible in the warned area. That is the Weather Service figure, not a second clock.

This page names the county and communities only. It does not print a street address, a house number, or a numbered highway as a destination.

Places the warning names

The warning says some locations that will experience the flash flooding include Foley, Magnolia Springs, Summerdale, Elberta, Miflin, Marlow, River Park, and Clay City.

Foley, Elberta, and Summerdale are the cities the Mobile office named in its X post. Magnolia Springs, Miflin, Marlow, River Park, and Clay City are also on the weather.gov list. This page does not add towns the warning left out.

If your town is not on the list, you can still be in the warned area. The list is examples, not a fence. People north and west of this slice, including communities the bulletin does not name, are not inside this particular warning. Check weather.gov before you decide you are clear.

This page does not print a street address.
