in the wind
About to happen
In the wind describes something imminent or developing—sensed but not yet confirmed, like catching a scent on the breeze: Change is in the wind, There's trouble in the wind.
The phrase suggests awareness of approaching events before they fully materialize.
To throw caution to the wind is to abandon prudence entirely.
