Checked the flight on Delta.com and it says everything is on time. I'm suspicious given today's cluster frick.

Is there any better info than delta.com on flight cancellations or severe delays?

Where to where? Only thing I'd be worried about is crew rest issues overnight

You need to educate yourself.

You are likely hosed.

There will be several days of intermittent delays as they catch up.

Good luck. Bring a book (one of those paper things with words if you are old) or an iPad with lots of movies.

Surprisingly I think you'll be alright. Your inbound flight LGA-Columbia tonight is delayed only an hour so the crew shouldn't have any issues with your flight in the morning.

Basically if that flight tonight is delayed more than 3 or 4 hours, there's a certain amount of rest period the crew needs before they're legal to fly again, meaning your flight in the morning would take on a delay.

Chicken just needs a permanent link to flight aware on this site.

Flightaware

That is either your plane or it's one of the late night ones from Atlanta.
Other option

Wow, just read about it. I flew out of Atlanta on Delta last night around 11 PM and their was some weirdness going on all through the terminal but we made it on time. Lots of pissed off people and we were late to start boarding. I used to enjoy flying, now it just sucks.

One thing I've learned is that airlines will happily lie to you. If the web site says your flight is on time then take that with many grains of salt under the circumstances. Airlines are like a vengeful god. Unknowable, sometimes they give you nice unexpected surprises. More often they make your life hell.
