Oil from the Deepwater Horizon rig is not expected to make landfall along Santa Rose County's shoreline - at least for the next 72 hours, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The forecast, based on the northwest satellite spot, was issued Wednesday around 5 p.m. NOAA utilizes satelite imagery, along with current and tide information, to determine the forecast.
The lates forecast does show a westward trajectory for the oil, but nothing close to Navarre Beach through Saturday.
