Not sure of the dates as I havent messed around with it yet (about to), but usually its 30 days from your current reservation (ie if your original flight is April 30th, you can only move until May 30th or March 30th if that makes sense.)

30 days.

Read the recent posts to see the dates people have been successful with; Southwest does not publicize the date ranges open for free changes.

So end date is somewhere between 5/4 and 5/10.

OK, my window may not be quite as wide as previously reported. The dates I'm seeing that work are ~April 13-May 4. April 10 seems to be too early and May 10 seems to be too late.

I have 5/24 and 5/30 dummy reservations that I can't change yet so the current cutoff is prior to 5/24

That’s called a weather advisory.

Knowing that nothing is guaranteed, is there a potential pattern to when this might open back up?

Not really, usually when it does open it last for approx 2-3 days. I would imagine the next one will be for early May (8th or 9th) and extend to the end of May if it presents itself again. Thankfully people here on FT normally notice it pretty quick so just turn on notifications for this thread.
