Some of the newest guidance is actually beginning to push it south... Hope that means you get to spend more time with your mom.

I'm going to have to start keeping an eye on this myself. Right now I am going to be on the very northern edge of the cone of uncertainty, but if turns north, I am going to have to start paying real close attention to if/when the airlines start shutting down flights in and out of Charleston. It seems like they tend to pull the trigger about 18-24 hours before the storm hits. I'm supposed to fly out at 6pm on Wednesday. I would really hate to cut my trip short, I had a brutally honest conversation with my aunt today, and this trip will in all likelihood be the last time I get to see my mom. It sounds like she is starting to show signs that she is a lot closer to the end of her road than any of us really want to admit. Currently up in Atlanta where it got up to 88 today. Pretty friggin miserable outside, though surprisingly enough, its not too terribly humid (by Georgia standards). I went up to North Georgia near the NC border, on Friday and it was incredibly pleasant. It was only about 74, compared to 85 down in Atlanta.

The now two week long heatwave in the southwest is nothing short of mind boggling. 12 straight record high temps

They ate the cats in Cleveland. Sad!

And of course Kalen DeBoer and Alabama lose to unranked Vanderbilt. Sweet day all around. Also Minnesota beat USC... my niece is a senior there and got to storm the field at the same time my son was in Seattle.
