For those of you who don't know me, my name is Maximilian (Max) Magness. I am currently an Atmospheric Scientist for CPP Wind Engineering and Air Quality Consultants out of Windsor, CO. Most of my work surrounds the statistics of wind affects on buildings and other structures. My love for weather and climate began as a young child, mainly due to me being afraid of thunderstorms. I graduated from N
orth Harford High School in 2015 and was part of the Agriculture Magnet Program. I went to Harford Community College for a year before transferring to Salisbury University. During my time at Salisbury University, I conducted multiple research projects on anything from tornadoes, to hail, to climate change, etc. I graduated with B.S. in Geography with tracks in both Atmospheric Science and GIS from Salisbury University in May 2019. I decided to apply to graduate schools my senior year and choose to go to Mississippi State University after much thought. While I was attending MSU, I was a teaching assistant for multiple classes, Meteorology Intern at MemphisWeather.net, and Graduate Assistant for the Mississippi State Climate Office. My thesis is on Synoptic-scale characterization of the High-Shear Low-CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy) (HSLC) Tornado Outbreaks (TOs) in different regions of the United States. I graduated with my M.S. in Geosciences - Professional Meteorology/Climatology in August 2021 from Mississippi State University. Most of my research interests are in Severe Convective Storms (SCSs aka severe thunderstorms), although I love all things weather and climate. I created this page in December 2020 to provide local forecasts for Carroll, Baltimore, Harford, and Cecil Counties. I run this page in my free time, mostly for fun and to bring more awareness to how weather and climate affects everyday lives and activities. Posts are made at least three times a week, with many more during active weather patterns. I also do hyper local weather forecasts for outdoor events.
