and a few alternative suggestions
In haiku form:
Watch what develops:
It may be only nothing.
If not, take warning.
When the meteorologist is also a metaphysician:
Potential weather earns a watch;
Our response is nothing much.
Actual storms call forth a warning,
Which we heed at night or morning.
Watch and see, watch and see:
Will the tempest come to be?
Warn and shout, warn and shout:
Now the storm has come about!
