I’m saying NOAA head Neil Jacobs works for Trump. He will direct his department to say whatever Trump tells him to. You would be clueless to think otherwise.
Nice try, but he is an interim previously appointed by Obama holding down the fort until Trumps appointment is approved.
Head of NOAA. They didn't defend Trump, they just said Birmingham NWS report was not correct.
The statement was released I believe today unsigned, why was this necessary if they weren't defending Trump. I would just like to know the source since every NWS forecaster I heard had no prediction for Alabama.

I cant answer your question. I assume they were just trying to set the record straight when they knew people were concerned about it.
If the press were doing its job maybe we would know.
If I understand your question, there wouldn't have been much of a prediction for AL because there was only a small probability of tropical storm force winds in the SE portion of the state. That jog up against FL.
Not sure how populated that is or how close to Birmingham which may be why Birmingham NWS didn't take it very seriously. But, I'm not an expert on AL so I really cant say.
