Hurricane Nate: Will My Flight from Orlando to Las Vegas Be Cancelled or Rerouted?

[DavidJunior]

I am currently scheduled to fly from Orlando to Las Vegas on Sunday, October 8, on a 6:45AM non-stop flight. However, hurricane Nate is heading for the USA coastline and could hit land anywhere from Florida to Lousianna. Will my flight be cancelled or rerouted? How soon can I find out if my flight will be affected? What normally occurs in a case like this? Thank you.
