When the wind is blowing hard, at my pregame with my partner we somewhat jokingly say, "No infield flies until the fielder catches the ball". In effect we're saying just what others here have already posted - there is no harm in waiting to make the call - the runners aren't going anywhere until they're sure it's caught or not caught.
BTW - we learn this axiom early in our umping careers - the wind is ALWAYS blowing here on the prairie in the Spring!
