Senior climatologist and meteorologist Steven Hilberg will present a program called “Signs in the Sky” on Monday, March 31st at 6:30 p.m. at the University of Illinois Extension Office, 801 Country Fair Drive, Champaign. This talk is free and open to the public.
Although the computerized models that are used to make weather predictions have improved dramatically in the past decade, sky observations are still key to understanding weather. Hilberg will discuss how to observe different cloud types and other sky phenomena that can provide clues to what is happening in the atmosphere and what that means for local weather.

His presentation is sponsored by the East Central Illinois Master Naturalists (ECIMN), a volunteer program dedicated to serving and supporting organizations in the conservation, restoration, management and interpretation of natural resources.
