Today’s on-time outlook for CLT

Prediction from the Amadeus travel network, refreshed daily.
What disrupts CLT
American's east-coast connecting machine pushes huge banks through a compact field, so small weather hits produce outsized rolling delays. Carolina summer thunderstorms are the usual culprit.
Local knowledge: CLT connections under 45 minutes are gambles in summer — pick longer layovers or nonstops through fall.
