rain forecast

Storm warning ahead

A rain forecast is a prediction that rain will occur, typically issued by meteorologists or weather services.

The term usually refers to the forecast itself rather than the act of forecasting: The rain forecast kept us from planning the picnic.

It can also appear attributively: rain forecast accuracy, rain forecast models.
