Happy Election Day to all who hopefully celebrate by voting! It should be a great weather day but a bit breezier than yesterday. Temperatures this afternoon should be close to normal for early November. Tomorrow will be the warmest day of the week with temperatures into the mid 60's for most spots. We turn chillier on Thursday and Friday with rain by Friday night. We still look to turn much colder than normal by the start of the new work week with temperatures struggling to reach the mid 40's for highs on Monday.image.png.4521d97be01bc0d0b53a3eeace848eec.pngimage.thumb.png.0b95d6e34c107bbb0acc42131c31dd5c.png

Man, I'm sorry. I know the feeling. I've never been a good sleeper. And when I am actually sleeping well, I have to get up at some point to use the bathroom and then I'm toast. Hardly ever do I go back to sleep. 

I know I'm not alone...i feel for all of us non sleepers.  For me the hard part is seeing my wife be able to sleep 10hrs with hardly a hiccup.  

Been this way for a few years, and thats even with melatonin/sleep aids.  they usually help, but some nights not, like last night.

Man, I didn't realize i was in such good company here, I really feel for all of you.  It's hard to convey the frustration/struggles of insomnia to those who don't have an issue with it.  Ditto on the frustration of having a spouse who can fall asleep and stay asleep with no effort whatsoever.  What the heck is that like?  I would need a bedside anesthesiologist to go out like that.

I had that problem a few years ago. Sleeping pills wouldn't even help. Found out I had an overactive thyroid. I couldn't tolerate the meds, so I had to have it removed. Now, I'm out in like 10 minutes.

Warwick Township hit freezing for a low this morning for the 10th time this season while higher spots like East Nantmeal still have yet to experience either a frost or freeze. That streak has a chance to end by Friday morning for many of the higher spots across the area and if not certainly by early next week with our coldest air so far this season. Winds will slowly increase today first out of the southwest ahead of the cold front and then out of the northwest and increasing with gusts as high as 40 mph between 10pm and midnight. The NWS has issued a wind advisory from 7pm tonight till 7am tomorrow morning. Today’s highs today into the low to mid 60's but about 10 degrees cooler tomorrow. We warm up again for the weekend to temperatures a few degrees above normal before we fall well below normal to start the new work week. Our best rain chances look to be Friday night.

Just a tragedy in Louisville with a UPS plane crashing last evening. There are about 300 flights a day from this UPS facility. The plane went down about a half mile from where we were camping less than 6 weeks ago, where Louder Than Life Festival is held. And people were reporting after the crash there was debris found near and around where we were camping. Prayers for everyone impacted with this tragic event.

Indeed.  Horrific.

I like how CTP called me out specifically 

 

Most peak wind gusts will be in the 45 to 50 mph range, but
given the several hour period of westerly 850 mb winds
increasing to 55 to 65 kts in the 22Z Wed to 05Z Thu period,
there could be some sfc gusts AOA 60 mph on the ridges, within
and just to the east of gaps in the ridges and accompanying the
stronger showers in that period.
