According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) oil plume model, the oil spill is 55 miles southwest of Pensacola, 110 miles from Port St. Joe, and 280 miles from Clearwater.
There’s no direct oil impacts from any part of the plume expected across the Florida coastline within at least the next 72 hours.
Weak high pressure remained over the northern-central Gulf on Tuesday, May 25 before a trough of low pressure began filtering into the region from the northeast.
Overall conditions are expected to remain favorable for deepwater operations this week, as light southeasterly winds of 5-10 knots persist through Wednesday evening, before shifting to the north on Thursday.
Seas of 1-2 feet will continue through Friday. Afternoon showers and thunderstorms will be possible each afternoon this week, but most activity will be inland and widespread severe weather is not expected.
