Central Gulf Coast hurricane operations
Alabama Hurricane Tracker – Live Updates
Alabama's coastline is the second-shortest among Gulf states at about 53 miles, centered on Mobile Bay and the white-sand communities of Baldwin County. Yet that compact shore sits where easterly Gulf storms often slow and pivot, and Mobile Bay's funnel shape can concentrate storm surge. Inland river systems then carry flooding far beyond the beach. In 2020, Hurricane Sally crawled along the Alabama coast and produced extreme rainfall and flooding around Mobile and Gulf Shores, one of the most damaging recent storms for the state. The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, with Gulf risk highest from August through September, so Mobile Bay residents—especially those in mobile homes—should stage plans early.

Is There a Hurricane in Alabama Right Now?
No, the latest NHC check shows no active system with a center position or official forecast path within 500 miles of this site's established Alabama city trackers. That means there is no nearby tracked center path in this check, but conditions and forecasts can change.
Answer verified from National Hurricane Center data at Sep 25, 8:45 PM UTC. A nearby center path is not a landfall prediction, an impact boundary, or an evacuation decision. Follow NWS alerts and local emergency management instructions.
