What is Mississippi Live Weather?

Matt and his team have received numerous awards and distinctions over the years, even being formally recognized by the Mississippi State Senate for their life-saving severe weather coverage. Among their accolades, they have been recognized with 10 Emmy® Awards and 21 Emmy® nominations for their weather coverage. Matt and his wife Emily call Tupelo home and have two (intelligent and exhausting) children, a cat, a dog and a perpetual sleep deficit. The American Meteorological Society grants the Certified Broadcast Meteorologist™ designation to broadcast meteorologists who meet established criteria for scientific competence and effective communication skills in their weather presentations.

Gabe Mahner is the Evening Meteorologist for Mississippi LIVE Weather. He is LIVE Monday through Friday at 5PM, 6PM, and 10PM. Gabe is an Alabama native and a Mississippi State graduate who has been covering North Mississippi weather since 2021. Weather became an essential part of his life during the 2011 tornado outbreak. Living in Birmingham, Alabama, his family was caught right in the middle of the outbreak and he was hooked: he knew then that he wanted to learn more and dive deeper. Gabe loves outdoor activities and watching the Kansas Jayhawks play basketball.  He and his wife live in Saltillo.

Maggye McCallie is the Morning Meteorologist for Mississippi LIVE Weather. Maggye holds both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Professional Meteorology from Mississippi State University, with a broadcasting emphasis in her undergraduate studies. Originally from Arkansas, she’s called Mississippi home ever since college—and is excited to continue serving the communities she’s grown to love. After several years in Starkville, Maggye and her husband Charlie moved to Senatobia to plant a church and build deeper roots in North Mississippi. They welcomed their first child this past year, and this job was the perfect fit—allowing her to continue her passion for weather while keeping her family first. Maggye loves forecasting for North Mississippi and appreciates the diversity of weather the region brings—from severe storms to winter surprises. Outside of the studio, she enjoys running, spending time with her church community, and soaking up quiet moments at home with her family.
