Southwest cancels flights to and from Nashville

Southwest Airlines has cancelled all of its flights into and out of Nashville International Airport after Friday at 5 p.m., according to airport spokeswoman Shannon Sumrall.

Friday afternoon, she said that Southwest was the only airline to cancel all of its flights for the night.

However, she urged travelers to check their flight statuses before braving the roads--even if you're headed for warmer climes--because flight statuses are changing by the hour.

"It's a Domino effect," she said.

Sumrall said that all of the airport's runways were open and operational, though the airport could function at full strength with just one.

"We were built to be a hub," she said.

Staff, she added, are working around the clock monitoring weather conditions into Saturday morning.
