Original warning text
Bremerton Navy Yard; Bremerton, Washington. Bremerton, Washington. 1. To: Lt. Dan Cargill, Mso Seattle From: Bob Pavia, NOAA SSC Subj: Bremerton Navy Spill Winds for the region are forecast as light and variable through tonight. Tomorrow winds will again be light, 5-15kts, with a generally southerly direction. Oil landfall is difficult to predict and is very dependent on what the wind does tomorrow. The oil in Dyes and Sinclair Inlet will tend to mill around with no dominate direction. Oil near rich Passage will be drawn into the Sound on the ebb tide. the next ebb will peak at about 1800. Oil in Port Orchard will tend to move north if the winds are as predicted. In general the threat area can be taken as Port Orchard to Waterman Pt., the north side of Rich Passage, the west side of Bainbridge Island, and the northern end of Dyes Inlet. It is not possible to pridict how oil leaving Rich Passage on an ebb will move in the Sound. Clam Bay is at some risk. [...] 2. COMMODITY: OIL. 3. POSITION 47.554N 122.646W.
