A typical post picks up 76 interactions against 1.0M followers, an engagement rate of 0.007%. Measured over 61 original posts, its engagement rate beats 30% of 3,791 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 23K times each, and 0.326% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.32% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 61 posts sampled, 84% carry an image or video, 11% are part of a thread and 79% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 1.6K interactions, about 21x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #mdwx, #sunrise, #nationals.

Compared with accounts its own size

Capital Weather's engagement rate beats 30% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,791 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 24% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.007%, Capital Weather sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,759 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,759 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,964 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 10:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

    Distant storms, spectacular lightning. Storms drenched Sterling, Great Falls and Potomac Thursday night, but not a drop fell in DC. But DC had a clear view of the lightning. Kevin Ambrose (@dcstormchaser) captured this amazing view from the Marine Corps War Memorial. https://t.co/3vREswvcVM

    An almost TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE is coming Thursday night into Friday morning At mid-eclipse, around midnight, about 95% of the full Moon will disappear into Earth’s shadow, likely turning a deep red or bright copper shade. The wild card: Clouds. Mostly cloudy skies could spoil the show OR breaks in the clouds may allow some peeks! Details: https://t.co/WSymBWJfZ0

    Got outdoor plans for Saturday? We have a bit of a winter storm-like situation, in that we’re right near the northwest edge of a storm that will almost certainly soak the Eastern Shore, but what the DC area gets is rather uncertain. It’s a close call between a rather rainy day versus more of a chance of occasional showers. We’ll have an update around 10:30 p.m. after reviewing evening model data.

Ranked by total interactions across everything we have tracked for this account, which is a longer history than the 30-day window the rates above use. The multiple compares each post to this account's own median.

Recurring topics

#mdwx#sunrise#nationals#sunset#airquality

The most frequent hashtags in the sampled posts. They describe what this account writes about; they are not a performance signal, and the catalog-wide breakdown on the hub shows how little hashtag count moves.

What is Capital Weather's engagement rate on X?
Capital Weather (@capitalweather) has an engagement rate of 0.007%, based on the median interactions across 61 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,007,117 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.007%, Capital Weather sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,759 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @capitalweather have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 30% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,791 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @capitalweather post?
Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.73 posts per day across the measured window.
