EF1 tornado, Mobile County, Alabama, June 18, 2026

Name: EF1 tornado, Mobile County, Alabama, June 18, 2026
Start: 2026-06-18T23:55:00.000Z
End: 2026-06-18T23:59:00.000Z
Location: Mobile County, Alabama

This EF1 tornado ran 2.3 miles across Mobile County on June 18, 2026, touching down at 6:55 PM CDT and reaching 40 yards wide. It killed nobody.

Preliminary. This is NWS MOB's damage survey, filed in the Damage Assessment Toolkit as Moffett Road. The rating, the path and the casualties are the survey's and can change while it is revised. The Storm Prediction Center compiles the official record of 2026 from these surveys and publishes it in the spring of 2027; this page moves to that tornado's permanent address when it does.

The rating scale

Tracks are drawn in the color of the rating. The Enhanced Fujita scale rates the damage rather than measuring the wind: the speeds are what that damage is taken to imply.

EF065 to 85 mph
Light damage. Surface peeled off some roofs, gutters and siding damaged, branches broken, shallow-rooted trees pushed over.
EF186 to 110 mphthis tornado
Moderate damage. Roofs badly stripped, mobile homes overturned or badly damaged, exterior doors lost, windows broken.
EF2111 to 135 mph
Considerable damage. Roofs torn off well-built houses, frame homes shifted on their foundations, mobile homes destroyed, large trees snapped or uprooted, cars lifted off the ground.
EF3136 to 165 mph
Severe damage. Whole stories of well-built houses destroyed, large buildings badly damaged, trains overturned, trees debarked, heavy cars lifted and thrown.
EF4166 to 200 mph
Devastating damage. Well-built houses leveled, structures with weak foundations moved some distance, cars thrown and large missiles generated.
EF5over 200 mph
Incredible damage. Strong frame houses swept off their foundations, car-sized missiles thrown more than 100 meters, steel-reinforced concrete badly damaged, high-rise buildings deformed.
Unrated
The survey recorded a tornado but could not put a number on it, most often because it crossed open country and damaged nothing a rating can be read from.

What the survey found

The tornado began along Howells Ferry rd near Grider rd as a weak EF-0 bringing down a couple branches resulting in minor damage across two properties. The tornado then continued southeast across Carlisle Dr and strengthened as it approached Central Blvd and Mississippi St. south of Howells Ferry Rd. Several large uprooted hardwood trees were noted within this area with more widespread small to large branches snapped throughout several roads within the community. The tornado then continued east towards Moffett Rd as it likely moved along Moffett before resulting in a few sporadic uprooted trees near a water treatment plant on the north side of Moffett Rd. The tornado likely weakened as it destroyed two businesses signs before dissipating near Northview Dr.

Written by NWS MOB in the NWS Damage Assessment Toolkit. A survey is revised as better evidence arrives.

The damage survey

4 damage points were recorded along this path by NWS MOB, in the Damage Assessment Toolkit the survey teams carry. The strongest indicator was rated EF1. The highest wind the damage implies is 90 mph.

Scattered small limbs down at this location. Likely the start of the tornado with one larger hardwood branch down. Some minor damage to a residence.
Numerous small limbs along Carlisle drive. Tough to determine convergence path given cleanup efforts but a noticeable corridor of increased damage.
A couple uprooted hardwoods and numerous large branches snapped in and around Central Blvd to Mississippi St.This was likely the strongest part of the tornado.
A couple large hardwood branches snapped along Moffett Rd. Two signs for two separate businesses were blown out as the tornado likely weakened.

Survey points are preliminary and are the raw material the published rating was built from. Source: NWS Damage Assessment Toolkit.

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 1245 PM CDT Thu Jun 18 2026

...DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING FLOODING EVENT UNFOLDING...

The remnants of Post Tropical Storm Arthur is currently creating
hazardous impacts to the local area. This system is slowly moving
through the area today creating a life-threatening flooding event. A
Flood Watch is in effect through Friday afternoon for precipitation
totals of 6-12 inches of rainfall and localized areas up to 15
inches from this event. WPC has the southern half of our CWA in a
HIGH risk for excessive rainfall which is rare and not to be taken
lightly. The rest of the area is in a MODERATE risk for excessive
rainfall. A trailing cold front will move into the northern portion
of the forecast area on Friday which shifts near the coast on
Saturday. This will bring additional rainfall to already hard hit
areas from today.

...HEAVY RAINFALL AND FLOODING...

The rainy pattern continues with multiple rounds of heavy rainfall
forecasted through the end of the week into the weekend with our
main impacts today into Friday with the remnants of Post Tropical
Storm Arthur. After most of the remnants of Tropical Storm Arthur
departs, we are left with lingering tropical moisture and a cold
front draped across the area leading to more precipitation Friday
and into the weekend. We are under risks for excessive rainfall from
the WPC for the next 3 days. Today, the area is split with a HIGH
risk in the southern half and a MODERATE risk for the northern half.
Our day 2 risk is a MODERATE and day 3 risk is SLIGHT for
essentially all of the CWA.

There is significant deep layer moisture with the entire atmospheric
column close to fully saturated based on 12Z RAOBs in the Southeast.
Our PWATs have been very high in the 2.3-2.5 inch range and will
continue to be at and above the daily max for climatology through
most of Friday. Ensembles show this deep moisture plume of 2+ inch
PWATs persisting through Saturday evening. The warm mid-level
temperatures with a freezing level of 14,000+ feet will support
efficient warm rain processes. This environment supports rainfall
with rates topping out at 2-3 inches/hour. This along with the an
enhanced LLJ of 40+ knots oriented correctly will support training
precipitation through today. CAMs indicate an east-west oriented
backbuilding line of storms trailing the MCS will move due east
creating a corridor of enhanced precipitation totals where this sets
up. As of now this looks to set up along or just north of the I-10
corridor.

The heaviest precipitation has began in our area early this morning
in our Mississippi counties and spread east into southern Alabama.
For what its worth, multiple deterministic CAMs show swaths of 10-16
inches across the southern portion of the area. HREF and REFS LPMMs
for 6 hours shows 4-7 inch swaths for this afternoon through
midnight, and 24 hour LPMMs through Thursday night of 7-14+ inches
through parts of our Mississippi counties and into southern Alabama.
While these tend to be somewhat overdone, it indicates the
increasing potential for flash flooding issues. Our FFG is still
quite low given previous days of rainfall and antecedent soil
conditions being very saturated. 1 hour FFG is around 2.25-2.75
inches and 3 hour FFG is not much better at 2.75-3.5 inches for most
locations. Given the rainfall rates and training convection flooding
will commence within just a couple hours of moderate precipitation.

Rainfall totals of 6-12 inches with localized areas exceeding 15
inches for the event. Even with most of the rain falling on
Thursday, the risk for flooding is still high on Friday after the
very heavy rainfall from today. We currently have a lot rivers in or
projected to go into minor flood with a few projected to go into
moderate/major flood stage in the coming days.

...SEVERE THREAT...

MLCAPE values increase as high as 2500-3000 J/kg over the area
today. Shear values have trended higher as the remnants of Arthur
approach and move into the area. CAMs indicate that the current line
of convection will move east-northeast with backbuilding taking on
more of a east-west oriented line of storms. SPC has a slight risk
for most of the area today. A marginal risk of severe storms also
exists on Friday for the entire area, mainly for the afternoon and
evening hours as the weak front drops into the area with a wind risk
if convection organizes along the boundary.

...COASTAL FLOODING...

Minor coastal flooding becomes a concern today where high tide
combines with persistent increasing onshore flow. P-ETSS guidance at
Mobile State Docks shows a peak of 2.0 feet MHHW this afternoon. We
already have some observations from ALDOT cameras showing splashover
on the Mobile Causeway near I-10. Values elsewhere approach, but
stay below the 2.0 feet MHHW threshold so some minor inundation
could occur for typical trouble spots like Dauphin Island and Fort
Pickens. We opted to issue a Coastal Flood Advisory for
southern/central Mobile County and Baldwin County for that began
late this morning and lasts through the evening.

...SATURDAY INTO MID NEXT WEEK...

The broad trough pattern in place across the eastern half of the
CONUS takes on more of a meridional orientation before moving
offshore this weekend. High rain chances continue through Saturday
as the boundary lingers over the area. The frontal boundary becomes
diffuse or will lift north Saturday night as southerly flow is
established over the area. Slight chance to chance pops follow for
Sunday, then dry conditions are anticipated on Monday then slight
chance to chance pops return for Tuesday. We will keep an eye on
potential a heat risk for the beginning of next week, but as of now
it looks to stay below criteria.

...BEACH FORECAST...

Hazardous and life-threatening beach conditions continue with all
area beaches flying double red flags today. The rip current risk
is now a HIGH for all Florida and Alabama beaches through Saturday
afternoon. NWPS shows breakers of 5-8 feet and a High Surf
Advisory was issued through Friday evening for the entire Gulf
coastline in our area.

What this means

Ratings are the survey's, read off the damage rather than measured; the rating scale is above. A survey can be revised, so the rating, the path and the casualties can all still change.
