Movement of Oil Sheen Further From Gulf Shore

NOLA

This graphic shows the forecast for Tuesday, May 18, and Wednesday, May 19. The shapes of the oil slick are created from information by pilots during flyovers, as well as trajectories created by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration _NOLA

The main part of the surface oil spill is expected to move further away from shore somewhat over the next two days. This should allow shore crews more time to prepare, should the wind and currents shift back toward shore.
