ATL Winter weather 3/10 - 3/12
I am reading about possible snow in ATL this weekend. I have IAH-ATL-HNL delta one booked Saturday morning and am very nervous now. Thinking of booking HOU-OAK-HNL on southwest instead. Thoughts?

Snow is not supposed to get as far as ATL as low temp is forecast as 35. It sounds like it will be windy, but looks like rain will mostly be gone by morning. I think flights will be fine. Delta has a weather waiver in place for the northeast on Saturday, but nothing outside of that.

Could also get routed through SLC where there’s still at least lie flats available although marketed as First but still a lie flat.

I’m doing SRQ-ATL-GRR tomorrow mid day. I’m not concerned about snow in Atlanta. I’m more concerned about the wind advisory (15-25 mph with gusts to 40), and the line of possibly severe storms coming thru the SRQ area late morning. I’ve already explored going today or earlier tomorrow and there just aren’t any true options. Snow in Atlanta never crossed my mind.

Chances of snow early tomorrow now according to weather.com. I guess I'll make my final decision at 3 AM tomorrow as my IAH-HNL flight is at 6 AM, HOU-OAK is at 820. I can cancel either last minute as both are on points. All depends on if IAH-ATL is delayed or not. The connection is 1 hour.

Latest TAF for ATL no longer shows any snow chance (just rain). But, gusty NW winds could slow things down if windshear alerts go off as they did in late January.
Assuming you are on DL1315 IAH-ATL departing at 6 AM? If so, that flight is currently on time as the inbound made it in tonight. However the 7:15 AM (DL2053) is showing a 2.5 hr delay as the inbound did NOT make it in tonight.
I would watch this carefully, but looks like your a/c to HNL is currently enroute from HNL, so looks good there.
Good luck! Let us know how it turns out.
