Blizzard warnings have been issued south and east of Denver, treacherous travel is expected overnight Monday into Tuesday afternoon for portions of the Plains.

A classic springtime storm will pack high winds and snowfall in the Plains and Midwest, resulting in blizzard conditions for some areas early this week.

The same system that is set to cause a severe weather threat across the Deep South this week is also expected to cause a significant winter weather threat from the Rockies to the Upper Midwest. The system has been named Winter Storm Lola by The Weather Channel.

Blizzard warnings are in effect as Winter Storm Lola could bring a half a foot of snow and wind gusts up to 65 mph in parts of the Plains. Whiteout conditions are expected in parts of Nebraska and Colorado along Interstate 80 and Interstate 76.
