On Facebook, Southwest rep Verity stated:
Oddly there's still no official advisory on the website.
We are offering flexible accommodations to/from ATL and GSP for travel tomorrow and Wednesday. You should be able to change your reservations on our website.

Hi all,
Quick question on rebooking: I'm flying MDW to LGA Thursday afternoon and am wondering if being checked in via early bird will affect my ability to rebook if needed. Obviously the forecasts are up in the air this far out.
Thanks!

I rebooked well inside 24 hours a couple of weeks ago. If you rebook on an earlier flight after being automatically assigned a boarding priority that priority may suffer. If you rebook a later flight outside the assignment window your priority should hold. It did for me a couple of weeks ago when I rebooked a later flight. However as with all things Southwest YMMV.

The way I see it, if I get bumped to Valentines day then at least there's a free drink on that flight

The weather models appear to be all over the place so they are likely waiting for better guidance on what to expect. On the one hand I heard 10 inches of snow and on the other I heard it would go out to see and there would just be rain/sleet.

Just reporting back:
As of last night and as of this morning at 6am my flight was still showing as on-time but come 9am it was cancelled. Totally what I get for taking a chance so I'm not complaining.
Maybe this is already a known issue, but I then tried to change my departure airport to Newark while keeping my return flight out of LGA. Worked just fine when I changed my gf's ticket as she was booked with two one-way tickets, but it wouldn't let me do my round trip change online. I had to call to speak to an agent since that can only be done on the phone and unfortunately in the 30 minutes it took to get someone on the phone, that flight sold out. So in the end, we're both rebooked for Saturday. Still good to know for future reference.
Of course, the downside argument about booking two one-way tickets: If I had wanted to I was eligible to change my return flight the following Tuesday since it was part of the original reservation. For my girlfriend, however, it wouldn't have been a free change.
