NOAA Reportedly Told Staff Not To Contradict Trump On Dorian's Path

NOAA reportedly instructed employees not to contradict President Trump's claims about Hurricane Dorian threatening Alabama, despite forecasts showing minimal risk. This directive, seen by the Washington Post, advised staff to adhere to official forecasts. Although Trump wasn't named, it was understood internally to refer to him. After Trump's tweet about Alabama being at risk, the National Weather Service in Birmingham clarified the forecast, leading to NOAA's directive. NOAA's acting chief scientist is investigating if the agency's response violated policies and ethics.
