Delta brings rain and storms to Alabama; brief tornado touchdown confirmed in Mobile County - AL.com

Delta has weakened to an area of low pressure as of Saturday night, but it’s bringing the threat of rain and storms to Alabama as it moves by the state.

However, the threat of severe weather appeared to be winding down as of Saturday night, and a tornado watch has been canceled for the southeast corner of the state.

The center of Delta continued to move through Mississippi, but rain and storms stretched far to the east and into Alabama.

Alabama had been under two separate tornado watches today, but all Alabama counties have been dropped from them as of 7 p.m. Saturday.

The National Weather Service in Mobile issued several tornado warnings early this morning, including one for the Mobile area, which has long since expired. A waterspout was seen over Mobile Bay earlier this morning.

The weather service confirmed that a brief tornado touched down in southern Mobile County earlier today.

The tornado was an EF-0 with topi winds estimated at 70-75 mph. It touched down at 5:01 a.m. near Beverly Road south of St. Elmo, the weather service said, and was on the ground for less than a mile.

The tornado damaged some trees but caused no injuries. See the preliminary storm report here.

All of Alabama could get a least a half-inch of rain through Sunday night, with areas in north Alabama potentially getting 2 to 3 inches, according to the weather service:

The remnants of Delta are expected to move away from the state starting on Sunday, but rain could linger into the day. Rain chances are expected to decrease by Sunday night.
