Weather Summary:
Strong southeasterly winds will continue throughout the day at 10-20 knots with gusts up to 25 knots. Near shore waves
will also begin to increase with waves of 2-4 feet near the coastline. Wave height will peak Wednesday morning with 4-6
feet waves near shore, and offshore waves around 10 feet. These conditions, along with a 60% chance of rain offshore,
will hamper surface recovery operations. However, the southeasterly winds and southerly waves will keep most of the oil
away from the Florida coastline with no direct impacts and only the uncertainty line reaching as far east as Pensacola
through Thursday. A tropical wave over the Yucatan Peninsula has been given a 30% chance of becoming a tropical
cyclone within the next 48 hours as it moves northwestward over the Gulf of Mexico. Computer models are expecting
this storm to move inland in southern Texas within the next 3 days.

Wednesday:
Partly cloudy. A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs 89 to 93. Southeast winds
around 10 mph. East wind around 15 knots becoming southeast at 5 to 10 knots late in the afternoon. Seas subsiding to 2
to 4 feet near shore and 3 to 5 feet offshore. Protected waters will have a moderate chop decreasing to smooth to a light
chop. Isolated showers and thunderstorms in the morning.

Wednesday Night:
Partly cloudy. Lows 72 to 76. Southwest winds around 5 mph shifting to the north after midnight. East wind 5 to 10 knots
becoming northeast around 10 knots overnight. Seas 2 to 4 feet. Protected waters smooth to a light chop. Isolated showers
and thunderstorms after midnight.

Thursday:
Partly cloudy. Highs 91 to 96. East winds around 10 mph shifting to the south in the afternoon. Northeast wind around 10
knots becoming south in the afternoon. Seas 2 to 3 feet. Protected waters a light chop. Isolated showers and

thunderstorms in the morning.

Low Pressure 1: A broad area of low pressure over the northern Yucatan Peninsula and south central Gulf of Mexico is
producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms over the northwestern Caribbean Sea, Yucatan
Peninsula and the portions of the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Environmental conditions appear marginally conducive for
slow development of this system as it moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph. There is a medium chance (30 percent)
of this system becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.

Franklin County Update: Level 2

 Continuing to disseminate important information to local communities.
 Monitoring boom installation and maintenance throughout the county.
 Keeping close eye on non tropical low pressure area associated with a frontal zone over extreme northeastern
Gulf of Mexico.

Operational Messages:
NEW PERSONNEL ACCOUNTABILITY BOARDS: At each site there will be a personnel accountability board.
Each person will have a duplicate ID at each board. While at the designated location your duplicate ID is to be placed on
the hook according to your position and section, picture showing.
Your standard ID is to remain on your person.
Upon departing the site, the duplicate ID is to be removed and replaced with the picture not showing.
Safety Precautions:
Be aware of your temper. If you feel yourself becoming agitated or aggravated, step outside and “Take a Breather.”
Remember… “Tomorrow… the sun will still rise”

To some it happens under pressure. To others it happens almost as a habit. Losing your temper explains itself. You are
losing something and it is always in front of others. Be it over reacting, going into a rage, shouting over someone or
walking off to a place, losing your temper does irreparable damage to the way others perceive you and also to your self
confidence and self-assurance.

Losing your temper always gives the impression that you are out of control, appear to be violent, and may put off others.

Many a time it leads to losing good friends, strains relationships and ruins opportunities for potential bonds. More
important than all of the above is the fact that one doesn't feel good about it later. It makes one feel guilty, dejected, or
experience a feeling of loss when the whole thing sinks in. If one cannot get hold of himself or herself, it sends signals to
others about the chink in your personality.

A fit of anger or outburst is never a logical end to an argument of even an unpleasant situation. On the contrary,
maintaining firm control over yourself gives the people around you the confidence that you are mature and intelligent.
People who don't lose their temper, even under provocation, invariably are accepted by others as leaders whose advice is
sought after and usually followed. Losing your temper hardly ever fetches you goodwill or good results. The cause for
disappointment could be handled in better ways, or avoided for good.

Andrew Davenport is the designated Safety Officer. However, EVERYONE IS A SAFETY OFFICER.
When a potential hazard is discovered:

1. Make sure that everyone else in your workplace is aware of the problem.
2. Notify your supervisor. Unless you are the supervisor; then get going on that safety committee plan.
3. File any reports or documents about the problem.
4. Follow up. Telling someone there‟s a problem is not a guarantee that the problem will be resolved
satisfactorily. Report it and later follow up to make sure the problem was addressed.
Area Update:
 Tar balls, tar patties, and sheen have been reported in Northwest Florida, though fewer impacts have been
observed due to westward-moving winds and ocean currents. View the latest reconnaissance reports here.
 Continued impacts will be possible in Northwest Florida over the next 72-hours, likely in the form of tar balls and
tar patties.
 Nearly 90 percent of Florida‟s coastline remains unaffected.
 If oil is sighted on Florida‟s coastline, report it to the State Warning Point at 1-877-2-SAVE-FL (1-877-272-
8335) or by dialing #DEP from most cell phones.
 Pensacola Pass as well as Perdido Pass will continue to be closed with the tide to reduce the amount of oil
entering inland waters. These waterways are manned to allow access to necessary vessel traffic and are open for
vessel traffic during low tide. See NOAA tide predictions.
 Observations by NOAA continue to indicate no significant amounts of oil moving toward the Loop Current. The
Loop Current Ring, a circular current which was formerly part of the Loop Current provides no clear path for oil
to enter the Florida Straits.
 There have been no reports of Deepwater Horizon oil spill-related products reaching the shore beyond the
Northwest Florida region. There is no indication that the rest of the state will have impacts from weathered oil
products within the next 72 hours.
 There are currently two tropical waves being monitored for tropical development by the National Hurricane
Center. A small tropical wave south of Louisiana has a 0% chance of development. Environmental conditions
near a tropical wave in the Yucatan Channel are more favorable for development. This wave has a 30% chance of
becoming a tropical depression by Thursday.
State Update:
 Health Effects: Oil Impact notice postings: Escambia County, all Gulf side beaches; Walton County, all Gulf
beaches.
 Tar balls, tar patties and sheen have been reported in Northwest Florida, though fewer impacts have been
observed due to westward-moving winds and currents.
