The system, which is set to begin on Tuesday night and last through Thursday, could dump 6 to 12 inches of snow over portions of the southern Rockies and central Plains, with record snowfall possible in the Midwest as well.

Winter weather advisories, storm watches and warnings are in effect in many of the areas in the storm's path.
