The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is focusing more attention than usual on weather in the region, and you may be hearing about the potential for a tropical wave to form into a tropical storm or hurricane this weekend. Usually, these things don't make the news until they actually turn into tropical storms or hurricanes, but people are rightly concerned about what a big storm could do to churn up and disperse all that oil flowing into the Gulf.
For Caribbean travelers, though, it's important to keep in mind that the storm system that has everyone concerned has already passed through the Caribbean islands. And since these storms almost always move east to west, that means it poses little or no threat to most of the Caribbean. The exceptions is the Mexican Caribbean, where places like Cancun and Cozumel could be affected by the storm; and Central America (the storm is currently located west of the Cayman Islands, off the coast of Honduras).
