Good morning! I've linked to an article that does a great job of explaining the various factors that will affect the future movements of the oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico. It talks about some of the things we've mentioned over the past few weeks -- including a pretty good explanation of the eddies (faster moving water that can break off from the Gulf loop current) that can potentially draw oil farther north or south independent of the main current itself. This comes on the heels of news that some computer modeling suggests that some of the oil may already be in the loop current and headed for the Florida Straits.
