any day now
Very soon now
Any day now means very soon, with the implication that something expected could happen at any moment.
The phrase carries a sense of imminent arrival or completion: The baby's due any day now.
It can also suggest impatient or skeptical waiting for something repeatedly promised but not delivered: He's been saying he'll fix the roof any day now for months.
