The National Weather Service issued a blizzard warning beginning at 6pm local time on Saturday, running through noon on Monday.
In the Dallas area of north Texas, where 11 people were killed after twisters ravaged the area on Saturday, up to 6 inches of rain was expected to hamper emergency crews late into Sunday night.
Travelers in Texas airports were met with widespread delays and cancelations. A separate system is forecast to bring snow and ice to the Texas Panhandle, New Mexico and Kansas over the weekend.
As tornadoes left long paths of damage and caused at least eight deaths Saturday in North Texas, on the other side of the state the same storm system was responsible for a potentially “historic blizzard”.
Travel will likely become impossible from northwest Oklahoma through the Texas Panhandle and extending southwest into southeastern New Mexico during the day Sunday.
“This is a dire situation, especially the eastern part of the state”, said New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez.

The snow and winter weather in the central states this weekend will move toward the eastern Tennessee Valley early next week, followed by cooling temperatures that should bring more normal weather to the South and Northeast by midweek, Storm Prediction Center forecaster Corey Mead said.
