Could be terrible, could be a positive.

A Tropical storm or small hurricane would probably do good things, diluting the oil and bringing tons of rain on land to wash the oil out to see where the ocean can do it's thing on it.

A big storm with a big surge could push oil up into bodies of water and contaminate them.

Ten Tex thinks it will rain crude oil 25 miles inland. That is also a theory.

The only real negative as far as I can tell is if it disrupts the efforts to stop it.

Everything else is positive. The wave action will both help dilute the oil, and introduce oxygen to the water that will help break down the oil and limit the negative effects of the spill.

A friend of mine who works for a coastal restoration company said something similar to this.
