I think the system has moved out to sea. N.O.A.A. thinks the system has moved out to sea. The Weather Underground model forecast maps indicate that the system has moved out to sea. Even the NEXRAD radar show that the system has moved out to sea. Shh! We do not want to get our hopes up, but we may actually have some nice weather headed our way. N.O.A.A. had us down for scattered light mixed wintry precipitation for the entire day. All I saw was the clouds breaking up, a little bit of sunshine and we did have some wind. It was, overall, a very nice day when compared with the past three. We will take it because we do not have to shovel in, nor do we have to dry off when we come inside.
For the overnight N.O.A.A. predicts the same light wintry mix for the first half of the period and no precipitation for the second half. Basically, the cloud cover (84%/83%/82%/60%) would support that, but the sky just does not seem to be producing any of that precipitation. Further, the clouds do seem to be breaking up. Further, the temperature does not seem to support frozen precipitation overnight.
My Weather Stick points straight out (66% relative humidity). The usual two electronic instruments forecast fair skies and rising barometric pressure. The remote weather station forecasts foul weather with rising barometric pressure. I do not believe any of them. I think the barometric pressure will rise because a high-pressure system seems to be moving in, and we will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies because the storm is moving off shore and is breaking up.

N.O.A.A. correctly forecast the temperature for the first half of today, and missed the mark on the second half. Surprisingly they did get the relative humidity correct for the entire day.
