Tuesday, 4 February 2025 () President Donald Trump has nominated Neil Jacobs to lead the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Jacobs was Trump’s acting NOAA chief when he was swept up in the “Sharpiegate” scandal in which Trump drew on a map to expand the area expected to be hit by a hurricane in 2019. Jacobs' agency chastised Alabama meteorologists who on social media had contradicted an inaccurate Trump storm warning tweet.
