11 AM UPDATE
Widely scattered storms developing over East and Southeast Alabama. A few of those are moderate to strong but they are widely spaced so far. Look for a general increase in storms this afternoon and well into the night. Rain amounts will be locally heavy. Long night likely in the weather office with a marked increase in coffee consumption!
As we always say, who needs sleep?
