What could cause the heater to blow only cold air?

Low coolant, bad thermostat, bad heater control valve, plugged heater core, defective blend door control or door are the list of items that can cause low/no heat.

Check the coolant level.
Once the engine warms up touch the heater hoses, they both should be hot. If neither one is hot you have a heater core issue. If both are hot but you get no heat then check the blend door for proper operation. (Turn the controls from full cold to full hot a few times and listen for the doors operation)
