Breakfast brief: East stays gray, soggy

Although it doesn't has the ring to it like it does in March, but the ides of May is upon us. Across the U.S., only the eastern third of the U.S. has to deal with soggy omens.

The WeatherRadar is showing a slow-moving storm system stretching from the Mississippi Valley eastward to the Atlantic. The center of trouble will be from the central Mississippi Valley eastward into the Mid-Atlantic where heavy rain and thunderstorms will make for a soggy, stormy day. Storms are also rolling across central and east-central Florida in the morning, making for some hectic morning commutes.

A few afternoon showers will develop across the northern Plains while some wintry mix will be found across the central Rockies.

It will be sunny once again across the West Coast and Southwest. The West Coast will continue its streak of late-spring warmth. Highs will be in the 70s and 80s throughout the Rockies and the West, with only the immediate coast feeling a chill rolling off the cold Pacific.

It will be hottest across southern Texas and southern Florida, where a few daily records could be broken.

Here is what we are watching:
