UPDATE: The Travel Alert is out and Southwest is now allowing passengers to change their flights free of charge.
HOWEVER, since I booked my flight through @sapcommunity.bsky.social Concur, I have to change it through Concur. When I do that, Concur wants to charge $160 for the change. 🙃
Advice?

Hey, Southwest Airlines, when are you going to issue a Travel Alert for the winter storm and allow your passengers to change their flights?

I’m not sure if I am ever going to be able to get to Houston for the AMS meeting, if these accumulations actually happen.

We are 5-6 days away from a potential winter storm in Oklahoma. Run to run variability is very high right now with this storm, including timing, track, and intensity.
Nevertheless, this map is making the rounds on social media.
Does this forecast accurately reflect the storm or the science?

Thanks!
