Summary

A significant flooding event affected the Gulf Coast region from October 3-5, 2026, with heavy rainfall from a tropical system creating widespread hazards across southern Alabama and northwest Florida. The National Weather Service issued flood watches and warnings for Mobile and Baldwin Counties in Alabama and the western Florida Panhandle. Rainfall totals ranged from 2 to 4 inches already fallen with additional 2 to 3 inches expected in some areas, while forecasters predicted potential totals of 4 to 10 inches or more in isolated locations. The heaviest rain was expected late Saturday night through Sunday afternoon. Hazards included flash flooding of small creeks, streams, urban areas, highways, and low-lying areas, with Dauphin Island specifically mentioned as affected. Coastal flooding was also expected during early morning high tides on Sunday, along with dangerous beach conditions and a low risk of tornadoes near the coast. Authorities advised residents to avoid driving through flooded roads and to monitor forecasts.
