Foreseeing future events
Predicting is stating what will happen before it occurs.
The word emphasizes the act of forecasting rather than the outcome: Scientists are predicting a harsh winter.
Weather forecasters predict storms, analysts predict market trends, and anyone with an opinion predicts election results.
I'm not predicting anything, but this doesn't look good.
