NOAA disavows National Weather Service tweet that refuted President Trump's claim that Hurricane Dorian was headed toward Alabama
In a statement attributed to an unnamed NOAA spokesperson, the agency said Trump had been given information from August 28 until Monday that Dorian could impact Alabama."From Wednesday, August 28, through Monday, September 2, the information provided by NOAA and the National Hurricane Center to President Trump and the wider public demonstrated that tropical-storm-force winds from Hurricane Dorian could impact Alabama," the statement read.
Forecasts from that time did not show the storm heading toward Alabama, though earlier forecasts did show small portions of the state potentially being in Dorian's path.Shortly after that tweet, the National Weather Service's Birmingham office tweeted that Alabama would not be affected by Dorian. "Alabama will NOT see any impacts from #Dorian. We repeat, no impacts from Hurricane #Dorian will be felt across Alabama," the tweet read."The system will remain too far east.
