As a storm spotter for the Birmingham office, I can tell you factually that the Birmingham meteorologists are recalcitrant to the point of inaction when a major event occurs down here. They seem to absolutely refuse to coordinate their synoptic forecasts with the adjacent field offices in Mobile, Huntsville, Peachtree City, and Nashville. I’ve seen many times where there are large regional watches and advisories issued, and Birmingham sits on its hands and there is nothing as much as a hazardous weather outlook on their map for the CWA. In fact, it’s common practice for them to raise and revise a weather event only after it’s in progress. As of this time last week, the projected path of Dorian, as well as all of the blended global computer models, did, in fact have the median path of Dorian bisecting the Florida peninsula east-west, and probably emerging in the Gulf before making it’s anticipated north/northeast turn, with a variable of a few hundred miles to either side of that track. What Trump pointed out was based on the best data available for a very tricky storm several days out. I studied meteorology and ocean sciences in college; I’ve been field trained - by the National Weather Service - to read a weather map and know what I’m looking at. What we’re looking at here are careerist global whining bureaucrats and media talking heads trying to gin up a non-story to make Trump look like he out-gaffed Biden. It was not only a dick move, weak and badly planned, but the facts are so undeniable, it blew up in their faces like a rigged cigar.
