Now to roughly 4AM or 5AM is going to be the window for any strong to severe storms. This is the latest run of the HRRR model showing the bulk of the activity happening closer to the coast.
Growing very concerned about the flash flood potential near coastal Alabama and NW FL. pic.twitter.com/yhcENzaTau

Storms happening across Baldwin County and near Dauphin Island continue to behave so far.
Continuing to see brief, transient areas of rotation that develop and fade just as quick. That’s fine – as long as they don’t stick around and become tornadic.
Watching trends carefully. pic.twitter.com/DPAsNeRS6s
