I'm in the same situation where I've gotten two texts today saying my flight on the 29th is canceled, but have been struggling to find matching information anywhere online until a few minutes ago. It looks like the website interface here,https://www.southwest.com/air/flight-status/?clk=GSUBNAV-FLTSTATUS, where someone else suggested to check flight status, only lets you select dates between yesterday and tomorrow. However I just noticed that if you go directly to https://www.southwest.com/air/flight-status/path.html?departureDate=2022-12-29&flightNumber=3339 , it seems to actually give you up-to-date info that matches what these flight cancellation texts are saying. You have to manually change the departureDate and flightNumber query parameters in the url to get it to work for your specific flight number and departure date though. I can't really vouch for the accuracy of this approach, but it's the only thing I've found online that at least appears to match both the currently available flight status data from flightaware.com (so up to tomorrow) as well as recently received flight cancellation texts. Hopefully that helps provide some degree of confidence that your flights are actually cancelled. I'm assuming those cancellation texts were accurate now and making alternate travel plans.

You have to manually change the departureDate and flightNumber query parameters in the url to get it to work for your specific flight number and departure date. eg. I used the flight number and date for Solyluna126's Tampa to Baltimore flight on the 29th in the example link I included above and can see that both legs of that flight have been canceled.
