we're going to see more that through the afternoon. you know we talk alot about our spot on forecasts and the accuracy of things were really proud of our record here thirteen years now. jeff and evan i shall work very hard to bring accurate forecasts but i will tell you i'm marveling right now at the accuracy of the models that we use in a future catcher hears talk about that if you watched yesterday really for the past several days we're talking about the chance for a few sprinkles this morning we saw exactly that a couple of showers overnight a few stray sprinkles this morning and then this morning at daybreak the temperatures right around forty seven degrees at noon and that's where we are here in norfolk at noon and i'm not surprised that it is really interesting to see how great the forecast models are becoming. he said the area zealand in the low fifties or seeing that virginia beach chesapeake the temperatures are down quite a bit from this time yesterday was so warm yesterday and as we go through the afternoon i'm actually calling for temperatures to drop off so

cooler air will move in as we have winds from the north northeast about five to ten mph right now some high cloud cover out there but we gradually see increasing clouds later today we'll get into the future cason moment we sit at forty seven is a mention with north winds at eight mph the pressure is rising. there's look at those sprinkles early on now seeing the clouds are starting to thin out were seen some more clearing out to the last should be a very nice overnight for us and tomorrow the winds will increase and it is going to be cooler so plan for that. temperatures tomorrow staying in the low forties really feeling very much like winter normally were around fifty one prize will be about ten degrees below normal for tomorrow in with the wind on top of it will feel like it's in the upper twenties low thirties as those winds can reach about twenty mph gust to twenty five very chilly there. the reason for that well again another fraud and this front is going to slide eastward and again kind of gives us a little reinforcing shot of cooler air tomorrow

can see other clearing trend should continue through the afternoon and overnight tonight we're looking at a very nice night for thursday plenty of sunshine but again the north winds picking up and it's going to stay chilly or tomorrow so we'll see that lotsa lotsa sunshine thursday and i think friday it looks pretty good while to get to the weekend was going to shift around a little bit and with the southerly winds were to see the temperatures climb back up low sixties for saturday and sunday little more cloud cover but we'll take it with the warmer weather so here's the forecast for the afternoon temperatures close to forty eight partly sunny again cooler by late afternoon temperatures easing down to the mid forties and eventually the low forties overnight lows around thirty two partly cloudy early but clearing overnight and tomorrow mostly sunny breezy and coolers and mention north winds ten to twenty gusting to twenty five and that's going to keep those wind chills down to the day tomorrow tomorrow night twenty nine mid twenties and one how about the good news that the warmer weather this

that i learned in the process it was well worth it and i went to the sleep study with not only my overnight bag my favorite pillows but also an open mind and so are patients actually sleep better here doing their own home. dr robert for ana says that's because here you don't have the same distractions might have a home like a snoring spouse pets are the kids but before you're allowed to get some shut eye here you have to get wired up marrying my nurse gave me a few forms to fill out and i got my pajamas on and ready to get started. the first wire on the measure late movement. then she play some on my chest along with elastic bands to measure breathing a lot of wires were attached to my head to measure brain waves among other things the marin used a marker to make sure that all the probes are put in the proper position. she says everyone is different so they have to measure everything it's very precise. oh and yes they do measure sound here as well. this nor mike is in place now but she saved the best for last. there was one measuring device that had to go up my nose to measure

everything was in place all the cords were tied together so they didn't get caught up in them while i slept in then they were connected to this one box which gets plugged into the water but before i can sleep mary has to make sure that all the wires are working correctly announced the breach history are those for about thirty seconds everything is working and i'm off to dreamland i actually fell asleep within eleven minutes and i have to admit i slept great. that's not just my opinion the study proves that i got deep restorative sleep a normal sleep efficiency with which means the amount of time you were sleeping in the bed was quite normal nine percent or above normal and achieve that ok good enough for your guys i am normal and i did not snore yes also import to point out that women do a better job of that deep restorative sleep than men which i bought was interest that is fastened and napping actually can be good for you i'm not a napper but

moderation time is everything twenty to twenty five minutes optimal time for naps not have a significant gap in the middle seat with that sweet as that is the question everybody asks. actually all those wires that box s comes out of the wall where it attaches to the marines and it's got a look or to put around your neck and you can go and did have to use its like a test to obtain having all those wires and it really wasnt really honestly i want to sleep right away to my answer is wishing i was really surprised to see the women do better job getting into the deep restorative sleep because i was sick and tired of it as the us i know moms feel like my life. we hear the gurgling in every room should be up i'd be like a log that is true that in a guy gets up on sleep we get to four stories ashley does one tomorrow morning i've got one on friday scheduled for sunday break right now in talks weather and i hope my message will put you to sleep and think your ears will perk up because we are talking about nice weather is getting to the weekend right now you can see the ocean waters the little rough there some ways common in little bitty chop farther out we are
