forecasted

Announced in advance

Forecasted is the past tense and past participle of forecast, meaning to predict or estimate future conditions—typically weather, economic trends, or other outcomes: They forecasted rain for the weekend.

Both forecasted and forecast are acceptable as past forms, though forecast alone is more traditional: Analysts forecast a recession works for present or past tense.
