United Airlines told KPRC 2 that their employees will be closely monitoring the tropical storm forecast which is expected to bring heavy rainfall and strong winds to parts of Houston, starting on Wednesday.

It is possible that with the stormy weather, some flights out of George Bush Intercontinental and Hobby Airport may be canceled or delayed.

Airport Operation Customer Service Manager Charlette Norfleet said the best way to stay informed is to download their app which will give you real-time updates on your flight status, agents on demand for rebooking or changing flights, or waivers in the event that your flight is altered.

Below is United Airlines’ full statement:

“Our operations team continues to monitor weather developments in Houston and adjust our schedule accordingly. We currently have waivers in place for customers traveling to, from or through IAH and other impacted cities. Customers may visit united.com to check their flight status and view the latest information. We encourage travelers to download our mobile app and use our Agent on Demand tool, which enables them to bypass the line to speak with agents and get assistance via text, FaceTime or phone call.”
