Do not assume it is automatically due. The cause, applicable passenger-rights regime and the airline's response all matter.

The FAA's live operational summary, updated on 24 September, identifies DFW with weather-related delay information. Conditions can change rapidly, so this page records the incident rather than guaranteeing the status of an individual flight.
Operational conditions can change quickly. Check the airline and airport for live status before travelling.
Compensation is only one part of your rights
Thunderstorms are generally outside an airline's control for fixed compensation regimes, but refund, rebooking or care obligations can still depend on the route, carrier and actual outcome.
Refund or rerouting
A cancellation can create travel-remedy rights even where an extraordinary circumstance prevents fixed compensation.
Care and expenses
Where the applicable rules provide a duty of care, reasonable meals, accommodation or transport can remain separate from compensation.
What to do now
Check the airline and FAA status before departure and retain cancellation or delay messages, replacement travel and receipts.
