NOAA - no doubt ordered
The President initially tweeted on Sunday morning that Alabama was among a list of states that "will most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated" by Dorian. 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."
Later Sunday, Trump repeated his statement.
"And, I will say, the states -- and it may get a little piece of a great place: It's called Alabama. And Alabama could even be in for at least some very strong winds and something more than that, it could be," Trump told reporters at a briefing on the storm. "This just came up, unfortunately. It's the size of -- the storm that we're talking about. So, for Alabama, just please be careful also."
