Shane Carter, Clinton airport spokesman, said the best advice he has for passengers heading toward the East Coast is to check with the individual airlines for cancellations or delays.

Carter said United Airlines flights to and from Chicago are currently delayed, but American Airlines flights to and from the city are still on schedule. He said the on-time American Airlines flights could potentially change as a result of the weather.

The airport's website said only one United Airlines flight from Chicago is delayed: United Airlines flight 6120, which was scheduled to land in Little Rock at 2:49 p.m.
