Storm winds and flights

Just wondering how high the winds would have to get in a tropical system before Southwest would cancel a flight to or from Orlando?

That would depend on the size of the aircraft and the direction of the winds. If they anticipate it being a head or tail wind it's much less of a threat than a cross wind across the runway and how bad the wind sheer above the surface is causing turbulance.
