forewarnings

Early danger signals

Forewarnings are advance notices or signs that something unpleasant or dangerous is coming.

They function as early alerts, giving people time to prepare or take precautions.

Despite numerous forewarnings about the storm, many residents chose not to evacuate.

The term emphasizes the warning aspect more than simple prediction—forewarnings carry an implicit urgency or cautionary tone, suggesting that action should be taken in response.
