Stormy weather

Do yourself a favor. Don’t turn on your TV the next few days.

Especially when it comes to the weather. Fresh off non-stop coverage of the wrath of Gustav, a series of storms now lurks out in the Atlantic.

Eventually, they’re going to get around to drenching us. Right about Saturday.

Hanna is expected to leave her calling card on our area just as the weekend beings. The only thing that seems still to be determined is just how much rain we’ll get.

And Hanna is not alone. Right behind her out in the Atlantic are Ike and Josephine. Who knows what they’ll do and what effect they’ll have on our weather.

Want some good news? While the rain could affect a slew of college football games set for Saturday, Sunday’s Eagles game should not be a washout.

Things are expected to clear in plenty of time for tailgaters to descend on Lincoln Financial Field.

None of which is likely going to make listening to the endless blather about the storms we will be inundated with over the next few days any easier to take.

The word blowhards comes to mind. No, not the storms, the talking heads trying to describe them.
