Snowstorm for the 19th

 For Wednesday the 19th there will likely be a snowstorm over the Upper Midwest. Confidence is increasing that a swath of 6+ inches of snow will be possible over Iowa, Wisconsin, and lower Minnesota. It is still uncertain where this swath exactly will set up because of the exact path of the system. Within the swath, blizzard conditions or close to that, will be possible on Wednesday. The two models below show the uncertainty of the path and width of the heavy snow. The GFS model showing the system having more moisture and going slightly more north than the Icon model. To further complicate this system, it will likely start as rain at the onset of the precipitation, changing to snow west to east as the system moves more east and the cold air wraps around it. It should be noted that the cold air will only be around 30-34 degrees so a bump up or down would wildly change amounts or who gets snowfall. (images from https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/
