Thunderstorms are making midnight noise down in SW Alabama and in Mississippi.

* Severe Thunderstorm Warning for North Choctaw County in SW Alabama, including the City of Butler. In another twist of geography, Butler is not in Butler County, instead it is in Choctaw County.

* Tornado Watch continues until 4 am for SE Mississippi.

* Severe Thunderstorm Watch continues until 2 am for SE Mississippi and SW Alabama.

* Several counties in East Central and SE Mississippi under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning including part of Lauderdale County where Meridian is located.

It was pouring rain (again) over North Choctaw County in Alabama as well as Marengo County. Some of that heavier rain was spreading NE into Hale and Tuscaloosa County.
