Good morning. It's Monday, January 23. Forecasters expect a few lingering rain showers to move through Central Florida this morning following a night of strong storms that prompted tornado warnings across the state.

A liberal watchdog group plans to sue President Trump, alleging that he is violating a little-known constitutional provision that bars him from taking gifts or payments from foreign governments.

See a video of the Women's Rally of Central Florida, which drew thousands and focused on women's rights and issues.
