Don't make the wife go out and start it for ya in the morning! 
It could be a lot of things, including the power steering pump... A real nice tool to have for situations like this is a mechanics stethascope.
I saw one at Harbor Frieght, but was buying a dial readout caliper that day.

Sounds like the fan clutch (radiator fan).
Seems a few guys here over the years have had that problem.
I believe it is a viscous coupled clutch but can not swear to it.
You can repalce the entire assembly in the driveway.
And yes, a mechanic's stethascope is good for isolating such noises.
