A storm rolling through parts of the Plains and Mississippi Valley will likely bring heavy snow, forecasters warned Sunday.

Winter storm warnings were in effect across a large swath of the country, from eastern New Mexico to central Mississippi.

“Heavy snow and hazardous travel conditions are likely, especially in Texas,” the Weather Service tweeted Sunday morning.

On its website, the Weather Service said heavy snow could make travel treacherous from west-central Texas to northern Louisiana.

The weather system has also hit the southern Rockies.

“Areas north of Denver have received the most snow this evening, with a few spots approaching 4″,” Weather Service forecasters in Boulder tweeted early Sunday.

They also warned early morning travelers to beware of patchy dense fog and untreated roads that might be slick from overnight snowfall and freezing temperatures.

Other parts of the U.S. will also be experiencing significant snowfall.

“Snow to spread from Southern Plains to Central Appalachians; thunderstorms possible over southern Texas today,” the Weather Service said in a note released at 2:20 a.m. ET Sunday.
