An F0 tornado first touched down in southwest Mobile county about 8 miles southwest of the Mobile Regional Airport. The initial touchdown was near Jeff Hamilton Road, just to the east of Newman Road. The weak tornado moved across open fields and forest, moving across Newman Road near the Branson subdivision. The tornado then moved through the subdivision, blowing down several trees. Some homes were damaged as a result of the fallen trees, while other homes suffered roof damage due to the high winds. The tornado then moved north and crossed Airport Boulevard just west of Newman Road. More trees were blown down here, and several more homes suffered damage, mainly to roofs, from either fallen trees or high winds. The tornado then lifted back into the cloud, about 5 miles southwest of the Mobile Airport. The line of thunderstorms that produced the tornado was associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Allison, which were moving east across the region.
