some sheens will
continue to be caught

LOOP CURRENT
• Recent modeling
reveals a shift in the
Loop Current which
could significantly
reduce the amount of
oil forecasted to reach
Florida.
• It is less likely oil
presently in Loop
Current will make it to
the FL west coast
unless a strong
tropical weather
system emerges in
the Gulf pushing
surface oil east.
• Keys could still
experience tar balls in
the next week.
