According to the NOAA oil plume model, the oil spill is 80 miles southwest of Pensacola, 125 miles from Mexico Beach, and 300 miles from St. Petersburg. The non contiguous sheens and scattered tarballs are within 210 miles of St. Petersburg.
• No direct oil impacts are expected across any part of the state within the next 3 days. Southerly winds of 5-10knots and fairly calm seas are expected across the northern-central Gulf today, but a 30-40% chance of rain and thunderstorms may hamper some surface recovery operations. Winds will begin to shift to the southwest by Tuesday and will increase slightly through the week before turning west Friday. This wind flow pattern may push areas of light sheen and tarballs closer to the Gulf Coast this week. For more up to the minute information, go to www.DestinHomeRealtor.com.
