Chaff is not going to present a huge signature like that. Its only purpose is to confuse radar-guided missiles. I seriously doubt that weather radar would even pick it up.

Different frequencies and all that. There’s electronic jamming now not mechanical like chaff.

Radar is radar. If the target has enough of a cross section it’s going to show up. C-130’s can dump butt loads of chaff and that stuff hangs out there forever. I’ve seen chaff clouds that look huge on the screen.
