The HWO is a medium-term non-advisory “heads up”. I have my own version of this when I say, “it’s too early for sure to know, but just keep this in the back of your head as a possibility. I said it the other day in fact, and I said, I will address the travel concerns as we get a little closer. I will be updating again, later today. I will likely begin addressing the potential travel impacts on Thursday’s post. Email me at the “Click here to contact” link at the bottom if you have concerns. I will address all of those questions on Thursday!

Here is the HWO:
