Donald Trump tweeted Sunday morning that Alabama was among the states “most likely” to be “hit (much) harder than anticipated” by Hurricane Dorian.

About 20 minutes later, the National Weather Service disagreed.

Alabama will NOT see any impacts from #Dorian. We repeat, no impacts from Hurricane #Dorian will be felt across Alabama. The system will remain too far east. #alwx

A few minutes after the NWS’s Birmingham office corrected Trump, according to a time line put together by CNN’s Brian Stelter, the president told reporters “we don’t know where it’s going to hit, but we have an idea,” and “Alabama is going to get a piece of it, it looks like.”

And about an hour later, Trump said at a FEMA briefing that Dorian “may get a little piece of a great place: It’s called Alabama,” adding that Alabama “could even be in for at least some very strong winds and something more than that, it could be. This just came up, unfortunately.”

The government has never publicly forecast that Alabama would take a hit from Dorian, and neither had any publicly released model.

Predicting Hurricane Dorian’s path has been particularly challenging for meteorologists. Computer models that simulate many different storm conditions help to adjust their forecasts over time. https://t.co/io6bx3WnmP pic.twitter.com/4O71xCXuMQ

So Trump appeared to have made a mistake, as several news organizations noted Monday. On Monday night, Trump couldn’t let it go.

Such a phony hurricane report by lightweight reporter @jonkarl of @ABCWorldNews. I suggested yesterday at FEMA that, along with Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina, even Alabama could possibly come into play, which WAS true. They made a big deal about this…

….when in fact, under certain original scenarios, it was in fact correct that Alabama could have received some “hurt.” Always good to be prepared! But the Fake News is only interested in demeaning and belittling. Didn’t play my whole sentence or statement. Bad people!

So yeah, Trump is suggesting he knows more than the NWS…totally normal!!!

Twitter had a field day:

Who you gonna believe, me or the lying National Weather Service office? pic.twitter.com/ON9i0qStaJ

You tweeted it out and the weather service had to correct you. Why can you never admit to a mistake?

I'm starting to think you did mistake Alabama for the Bahamas. pic.twitter.com/d8zn2rOrEc

Is it possible that trump thinks Alabama is along the east coast?

Alabama is HERE, guy (red arrow).

We know you have trouble with words, numbers, math, names, spelling, grammar, science, ethics, complete sentences, marital fidelity, etc.

But it's one of the states that voted for you bigly. Shouldn't you know where it IS at least? SAD. pic.twitter.com/JGEEHEqwE0

The Birmingham office of the @NWS had to give reassurance on Sunday after President Trump mistakenly told millions on Twitter that those in Alabama were in the path of “one of the largest hurricanes ever.”

No model at all shows Alabama getting hit by #Dorian.

Woopsie. 😬 pic.twitter.com/Sd2F1NeGX3
