The Thursday morning map discussion video is on the server:

Not much change in the daily weather through Saturday; very humid, some sun at times, and scattered to numerous showers and storms. Stronger storms will produce very heavy rain for a brief time, and a shower is possible at night and during the morning as ole Dennis finally fizzles out over the Ohio River valley north of here.
Heights begin to rise Sunday and into early next week which means showers will thin out greatly by then. And, toward the middle or end of next week a surface boundary approaching from the north should bring an increase in showers and storms once again.
EMILY: Now a hurricane, Emily will move through the Caribbean over the next few days, with the NHC track putting it into the far southwest Gulf of Mexico by late Monday night of next week. Still looks like the ultimate landfall will be on the Mexican Gulf coast toward the middle of next week, but the UKMET has shifted north and takes it to near Brownsville, Texas. Our pals from Corpus Cristi south will have to keep an eye on this. If it does move north of the Yucatan, there will be no weakening from land, and with the water so warm you have to wonder if this thing might ramp up like Allen or Gilbert. I am not saying that will happen, but it could be a big, bad storm for somebody on the Mexican coast, or around the southern tip of Texas.
You also have to wonder if some of the moisture from the system, once inland, will curve up this way in about a week and stream along that stalled surface boundary.
FRANKLIN?: The wave in the eastern Atlantic doesn't look very organized this morning, but there remains some chance it will become TD6, and maybe tropical storm Franklin in a few days. All of the models are now showing a path that recurves the system into the open Atlantic, so for now this one does not look like a threat to the U.S. mainland.
Another nice wave has moved off the coast of Africa. Wonder how far in the alphabet we will run this year!
