Chaff is, as the weatherman explains, metallic material dropped from planes to jam radar, and so confuse radar-guided missiles. Being designed to reflect radar, it will of course show up on weather radar. It cannot affect weather in any way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaff_(countermeasure)

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1791827166352544100

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
