The flawless lunar launch of the Artemis II mission occurred under perfect weather conditions on the same day that the first full moon of spring sets us up for Easter this weekend on the first Sunday after spring’s first full moon..

The NASA endeavor represents the best of humanity and its ingenuity, only to be followed just a few hours later by a rambling incoherent presidential address from someone who will never be described in those terms.

Later in the day yesterday Mother Nature provided us with thunder, lightning, and three quarters of an inch of rain. That sets up a much cooler day today.

Today: Partly cloudy. High 65F. S winds shifting to E at 10 to 20 mph.

Tonight: Considerable cloudiness. Low 49F. Winds ESE at 10 to 15 mph.

Friday: Mostly cloudy skies early will become partly cloudy later in the day. High 78F. Winds SSW at 10 to 20 mph.
