I found this discussion because the same thing happened to my group today. On my way to the gate after checking my luggage I received a text that our flight was cancelled due to the predicted "weather" in Baltimore 7 hours in advance. Checking the NWS, there were supposed to be Scattered thunderstorms in Baltimore later in the day, but no serious warnings and only a Ozone pollution watch in the area. I think the cancelled flight had more to do with us being booked on a flight that was not full with one leaving for Denver with 40 extra seats on the gate right next to it. I'm writing this from the Denver airport waiting for the "midnight plane to Maryland" with an expected arrival time of 2 AM. Two other flights have left for Baltimore from here with no weather issues while I have been sitting here. Oh, and to top this all off, SWA ended up paying 10 people $600 to get off the SLC- Denver flight because it was too full while waiting an extra hour for it to leave. Please get it together SWA.
