Eye on the Sky

The Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium's Eye on the Sky is forecasting that tropical depression Debby will bring heavy downpours and the threat of flash flooding to the region Friday into Saturday.

Steve Maleski, a meteorologist whose forecasts have helped buoy Eye on the Sky for 40 years, is retiring. And, a new voice — Megan Duncan — will be joining the meteorologists Mark Breen and Lawrence Hayes to keep Vermont Public listeners updated on the weather. Maleski and Duncan joined Vermont Edition host Mikaela Lefrak to reflect on Maleski’s tenure and welcome Duncan into the role.

A new voice is keeping an Eye on the Sky: meteorologist Megan Duncan will create and produce forecasts beginning this month for the venerable weather service from the Fairbanks Museum and Vermont Public. Duncan is the museum’s first female meteorologist. She’ll join Mark Breen and Lawrence Hayes, taking over for Steve Maleski, who is retiring this summer.
