Chris Yetsko
Meteorologist

Chris attended Penn State earning a Bachelor of Science in meteorology, then joined Wilkens Weather in October 1996. Growing up close to the New Jersey shoreline, Chris learned first hand about marine weather patterns while spending many days at the beach or on the water fishing. "Originally it was just a hobby in middle and high school. I kept weather records at home and was always fascinated by storms and significant weather events. While in high school, I decided I wanted to pursue meteorology as a career," says Chris.

At Wilkens Weather, Chris is responsible for preparing worldwide marine forecasts, meteorological studies and hindcasts, temperature forecasts for natural gas clients, and translating forecasts into Spanish for several Mexican newspapers. Chris’ favorite part of the job is preparing a hindcast, which allows him the opportunity to play detective while researching weather situations for a particular time period. He is a member of the American Meteorological Society and is actively involved with a local food pantry.
