There should be no confusion of a Watch vs a Warning with this example. A Watch the ingredients are there for something, A Warning it's there. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #WeatherAware

10-Day Forecast: Weekend warm-up into the 80s and not much rain in the forecast. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc

Warm and dry weekend ahead, going to feel like early summer again. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc

Another day in the books Charlotte. The sun will set over the Queen City March 19, 2026 at 07:34PM #cltwx

@Yiorgoman @EdPiotrowski Crazy cold the past few days there with some good snow, it will all melt this weekend

@wxbrad @EdPiotrowski drove up to Cherokee from Charlotte today,was not expecting to see this.😳🥶

Warm and dry weekend down at #Darlington this weekend. #nascar #scwx

Very quiet weather across the lower 48 today. It's like the weather took a break to watch March Madness.

3/19/2026: A perfect end to the week, and I see a lot of patio basketball watching tomorrow afternoon and evening. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc

Here's a look at the 3pm temperatures across the area.

This week's #drought monitor is out and some good news, bad news kind of. For the 2nd straight week, things didn't get worse, but they didn't get much better either. There was slight improvement in a few spots, from severe to moderate drought, but no removal yet. We still need consistent rainfall to get out of this, and it's still been too sparse, and now the growing season is underway. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc .\

Good Morning Charlotte! The sun is coming up March 19, 2026 at 07:28AM! ift.tt/f5PJbuy #cltwx

Another minor #earthquake near Lake Murray this morning just after 2:30am. #scwx

It's March 19, 2026 at 07:00AM Here's your 48hr Forecast Weather Grid. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc

@crreynolds Yep

@wxbrad delayed until 9:48am?

"Jellyfish" cloud alert Thursday morning. The current time of the East Coast #Falcon9 rocket launch is perfect for a well-defined jellyfish cloud. The green area on the map has the highest chance of seeing it and is strongly aided by high sky-plume contrast. Strongly helped by plume illumination. Helped by plume elevation above the horizon. Rocket enters sunlight: ~T+03:25 #spaceX #falcon9 #starlink #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc

@dayman23 Yeah, just want an April with mid to upper 70s by day and low to mid-50s at night would be great!

So a solid 5-6 days of just some mid 60’s temps is too much to ask for 😂 probably get that on Memorial Day

10-Day Forecast: Warming up into the weekend and then another cool down next week. Looks like a good wedge set-up possible Tuesday. Stay tuned, it could get colder, cloudier, and wetter as we get closer. #cltwx #ncwx #scwx #wcnc

Gotta watch cloud cover along the coast, but inland should be no issues. #ncwx #obx #scwx

Props to jellyfish.johnkrausphotos.com for stats for the East Coast jellyfish chances.

@johnkrausphotos No problem, and you got it. Thanks for all the work, great tool along with Flightclub.io for getting people out to check out the sky. You should build it out into an app and start a Patreon or donate button for development. People would love it.

Brad, this language looks virtually identical to my website’s prediction. The heat map is very similar too. “strongly aided by high sky-plume contrast. Strongly helped by plume illumination. Helped by plume elevation above the horizon. Rocket enters sunlight: ~T+03:25” This language appears to come straight from a jellyfish.johnkrausphotos.com prediction output. While the tool is provided freely for the community (at great effort and time to create, and moderate ongoing costs to myself) in efforts to inspire people to look up and be excited by spaceflight, it’s disappointing to see it presented here without attribution. Please be sure to include attribution to third-party resources, including the space jellyfish predictor. Cheers, John

@B_rad_cudi To get into an orbital plan, you need to launch in that direction. Think of trying to merge into the interstate. You don't take a direct left turn into traffic; you slowly move along the same path as you get up to speed.

@wxbrad Weird, you’d think if they wanted this thing in space they’d launch it straight up vs sideways up the east coast…
