Gulf Oil Slick on May 19, 2010

Posted Under: General Area in Destin  |  May 20, 2010 5:42 AM  |  4 views  |  No comments

The oil plume is more than 75 miles from Florida and no oil impacts are expected upon any part of the Florida coastline within at least the next 72 hours. A stalled frontal boundary over the central Gulf States will inch slightly north, shift light winds to the southeast this afternoon, and may produce isolated showers and thunderstorms across the northern-central gulf this afternoon. Light winds and seas are generally expected until Friday, which will be favorable for surface oil recovery operations. A portion of the oil, scattered light and very light sheens, have been observed moving to the southeast over the last few days. A general consensus of the forecast models indicate some portion of the oil may stay in a small eddy to the north of the loop current and move back north, while some of the oil moves south into the loop current
