Alabama Power Outage Map: Weather Alerts, History and Utility Links

Weather alerts by county from the National Weather Service, county outage history from a federal dataset, and one-tap links to your utility’s own outage map. Not a tracker of who has power right now.

Counties are shaded by the highest-tier National Weather Service alert that can cause outages. Tap or press Enter on a county for details. Turn on JavaScript to load alerts; the county table below works without it.

Map of Alabama countiesEach county is a button. In the weather alerts layer a county is shaded by the highest-tier National Weather Service alert that can cause outages; in the history layer it is shaded by its 2025 peak number of customers without power. The county table below the map has the same information as text.

Highest alert in each county (only alert types that can cause outages)

  • Tier 3, Highest. Tornado Warning, Extreme Wind Warning, Hurricane Warning, Storm Surge Warning, Ice Storm Warning, Blizzard Warning
  • Tier 2, Elevated. Severe Thunderstorm Warning, High Wind Warning, Winter Storm Warning, Tropical Storm Warning, Tornado Watch, Hurricane Watch
  • Tier 1, Lower. Severe Thunderstorm Watch, Wind Advisory, Winter Weather Advisory, Tropical Storm Watch, Freezing Rain Advisory
  • None. No qualifying alert right now. This is not a statement that power is on.

Unofficial. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the National Weather Service, NOAA, the U.S. Department of Energy, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, or any utility.

About this data

Weather alerts (live): Active alerts from the National Weather Service (api.weather.gov), refreshed about every minute. Alert text is shown as issued by NWS; follow the link for the official version. Which alerts we include is our choice, based on the kinds of weather that often damage power lines. An alert does not mean power is out.

Outage history (annual): County-level outage data from the EAGLE-I program, U.S. Department of Energy, Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Tansakul, V., et al. (2026). EAGLE-I Power Outage Data 2025. Oak Ridge National Laboratory. https://doi.org/10.13139/ORNLNCCS/3012826, and Brelsford, C., et al., The Environment for Analysis of Geo-Located Energy Information’s Recorded Electricity Outages 2014-2025, figshare, https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.24237376, licensed under CC BY 4.0. We summarized the 15-minute county data into peak values; this is a modified, derived presentation, not the original data. The data was collected from utilities’ public outage maps and covers roughly 80% of Alabama customers, so counts are incomplete. Some counties, including DeKalb County in 2025, have gaps. This is not real-time data.

Boundaries: U.S. Census Bureau cartographic boundary files.

Outage status: We do not show any utility’s current outage counts. To check or report an outage, use your utility’s own map or phone line (links on the main page).

Utilities do not follow county lines, so we do not guess which one serves you. Look at your bill for the company name, then use the link below. These links go to each utility’s own website; we do not copy or show their outage numbers. Not affiliated with any utility.

Investor-owned utility

Municipal utilities

Electric cooperatives

† In 2025 the peak count for Cleburne, Coosa and Pickens counties was larger than the dataset’s modeled customer count, so we show only the raw count for them and no percentage. Treat those three counts with extra caution.
‡ DeKalb County has no 2025 rows in the dataset. That is a gap in the data, not a finding that DeKalb had no outages.

How to use this page

This is a county map of weather alerts that can cause power outages, plus county outage history from a federal research dataset, plus links to each utility’s own outage map. Pick a layer, then tap a county. The panel shows the alerts for that county, its 2025 history, and a link to the list of utility outage maps. Everything on the map is also in the table above, which works with a keyboard and a screen reader.

What each layer is, and what it is not

Weather alerts (live). We ask the National Weather Service for the active alerts in Alabama about once a minute and shade each county by the highest tier that applies. We include tornado, severe thunderstorm, high wind, winter storm, ice, blizzard and tropical alerts because that kind of weather often damages power lines. That list is our own choice. An alert does not mean power is out, and the absence of an alert does not mean power is on.

Outage history (2025). This layer is annual data, not live. For each county we show the highest number of customers reported without power at any one time during 2025, grouped into five bands. In the dataset the largest county peaks of 2025 were Jefferson (39,648), Baldwin (23,634), Tuscaloosa (19,015), Madison (18,523), Lauderdale (18,162). These are the dataset’s numbers, not ours, and they are incomplete (see data quality below).

What this page does not do. It does not show any utility’s current outage counts. Your utility is the authority on whether your power is out and when it will return, so we send you to its own map or phone line.

If your power goes out

  1. Check your breaker panel and ask a neighbor, then report the outage to your utility using the number on your bill or the link in the list above.
  2. Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed. See how long food stays safe in our refrigerator guide.
  3. Run a generator outdoors only and use a battery-powered carbon monoxide detector. Read generator vs power station before you buy.
  4. Downed power lines can be live. Stay far away and call 911 and your utility.

Prepare before the next storm

Start with our Alabama power outage checklist, total the appliances you must keep running with the wattage chart, then size a backup with the generator size calculator or the power station runtime calculator.

Methodology and data quality

Questions

Is this a map of who has power right now?

No. It shows weather alerts that can cause outages, annual outage history, and links to utilities’ own maps. For current outage status use your utility.

Which utility serves my address?

Check your electric bill for the company name. Alabama has one large investor-owned utility, many electric cooperatives, and several municipal utilities, and their territories do not follow county lines.

Why is a county missing data or a percentage?

Some counties have gaps or inconsistent counts in the source dataset. We would rather show nothing than a number that cannot be right.

Can I embed the map?

Yes, free. Use the embed code near the top of this page.

Where do my location and clicks go?

If you tap “Use my location,” your browser works out the county on your device and nothing is sent. The alert feed request has no personal parameters. See the privacy policy.
