SUMMARY: The content discusses the importance of sleep for physical and mental health. It highlights the potential consequences of chronic sleep deprivation such as increased risk of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases.

Friday October 27th, 2023: Patchy dense fog has been noted across the northeast portions of
the area as winds have began to shut down over those areas.
Expected more fog development this morning as the winds continue

less low-level convergence to promote as much shower development
as there has been over the past couple of days, so PoPs were not
upped this go around for today.
The main concern is fog setup tomorrow and Saturday morning with
the weakening winds and moisture ahead of the front. All
indications that this will be mostly a radiation fog event with
the the trend of winds slacking off. SREF probs are especially
hitting the fog hard as
