About
Brian Mark Weber first became interested in the weather as a boy observing cloud formations and awed by the power of thunderstorms. Brian went on to build a home weather station and kept detailed weather records for the town of Pasadena, Maryland for many years. In fact, the Baltimore Sun took note of his passion for weather by writing a feature article on his station in the early ’90s. Brian went on to take climatology and meteorology courses at Lyndon State College and at Mississippi State University, and was trained in severe storm analysis and observation at the National Weather Service in Baltimore (BWI). Brian shared his weather observations with WBAL-TV (Baltimore) for several years and became a special regional observer for WHTM-TV in Pennsylvania which sought out Brian’s advice for the many commuters who travel back and forth between Harrisburg and Baltimore. While attending Ashland University in Ohio, Brian started a campus-wide telephone weather forecast service which he updated daily and he established a weather web site for the city of Ashland. In addition, Brian wrote a weekly weather column for the university newspaper. He also worked as a radio and television meteorologist and established www.chesapeakebayweather.com in 2003. More recently, Brian was interviewed by The Weather Channel for its series, When Weather Changed History, to discuss the role of weather in George Washington’s time and the weather’s impact on the American Revolution. Brian is currently working on a certificate in weather forecasting from Pennsylvania State University.
