Oil spill trajectory as of Monday, June 21

Distances to Florida's West Coast

On the afternoon of Monday, June 21, winds shifted from a southeasterly direction as the sea breeze moved inland, but a general east to southeast wind flowed between 5 and 15 knots and is forecast to continued across the north-central Gulf operations area through much of the week.

Offshore, a portion of the Loop Current Ring had reattached to the Loop Current Channel. However, observations continue to indicate no significant amounts of oil well away from the well site. A tropical wave moving westward is producing a large area of disorganized storm activity. There is a low (20%) chance of this becoming a tropical cyclone within the next 24 hours
