The first stage booster supporting this mission previously launched Arabsat-6A, STP-2, and COSMO-SkyMed Second Generation FM2. Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will return to Earth and land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

CelesTrak has pre-launch SupTLEs for the #Starlink Group 4-10 launch scheduled from Cape Canaveral on 2022-03-09 at 13:45:00 UTC. Deployment of 48 satellites is set to occur at 14:50:58.000 UTC:

There will be one more satellite onboard compared to Starlink Group 4-9 (48 vs 47), but the planned deployment orbit is almost identical (317 x 305 km vs 315 x 304 km) and it's still the southern trajectory. Maybe they've noticed some performance reserves after the previous launch, I can't see any other changes explaining the difference.

We had a series of small showers pass by here around 7:20am, moving east north east. Doubt any impact.
