Areas of tarballs, tar patties, and sheen have been confirmed approximately 10 miles from the Escambia County shoreline and 6 miles from Navarre Beach.\u00a0<\/p>\n\u2022 According to the NOAA oil plume model, the primary oil plume is 30 miles from Pensacola, more than 150 miles from Gulf County, and 330 miles from St. Petersburg, with non contiguous sheens and scattered tarballs closer.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Southwest winds are expected to continue through Sunday with speeds of 10-15 knots. Trajectories show a northeastward movement of oil over the next 3 days, threatening the shorelines of Alabama and possibly the western Florida Panhandle. Forecasted increases in seas and a 50-80% chance of showers and thunderstorms through Friday may hamper surface oil recovery operations. West winds are forecast for early next week, though a rare late season cold front may produce offshore winds as early as next Wednesday.<\/p>\n
