Today we remember Neil Armstrong, the first astronaut to walk on the Moon, on his birthday! 🎉
Did you know that Armstrong celebrated his 39th birthday while still in quarantine after Apollo 11's return?
The first person to walk on the Moon, Neil Armstrong, was born on #TDIH in 1930. He was an Apollo 11 astronaut, NASA test pilot, the command pilot of Gemini 8, and an inspiration to millions around the world. More on his legacy: https://t.co/T63mAM0c37
As we head into this mid April weekend, it may be a good one to make it a 3 day weekend. Temperatures will resemble more May and even early June Friday and Sunday. A weak cool front will give us some more April like temperatures Saturday. The best rain chance is Friday eve.
