Weather agency now backs Trump, says Dorian could have impacted Alabama
The federal agency that monitors hurricanes said Friday that Hurricane Dorian could have impacted Alabama, backing claims by President Trump that he was right to tweet a warning over the weekend about the storm affecting the state.
In an unsigned statement, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said that "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 advisories in question were dated from Wednesday, Aug. 28 to Monday, Sept. 2, the agency said.

NOAA reports to Department of Commerce, run by Trump long time stooge Wilbur Ross
Someone was paid off / leant on to make this statement

I'd be inclined to believe the pro's and not the PR head. He used old data and everyone took the piss and he wouldn't let it drop then an ally put out a statement to try and dig him out of the #.

Some earlier predictions had some tracks reaching the Gulf Coast. By the time Trump said Alabama was at risk it no longer was. He used old data, or rather Alabama popped into his head from the earlier forecasts, and when you are getting constant updates using the most recent data is preferable. Who cares what was thought a few days ago when it's now irrelevant?

He used old, irrelevant, data and got shown up for it. Instead of dropping it, and everyone forgetting, he wouldn't let it lie and kept digging. Then someone who used to work for him, who is now Comms Director at the NOAA, released a statement for him to point to saying he was right. He cannot stand being wrong.
