a statement of predicted or estimated weather in the future.
An estimate of future events. A forecast can be determined by mathematical means using historical data; it can be created subjectively by using estimates from authoritative sources; or it can represent a combination of both techniques.
To calculate or predict some future event or condition; usually as a result of study and analysis of available pertinent data.

a prediction of what sales will be achieved over a given period, anything from a week to a year. Sales managers require sales people to forecast, in order to provide data to production, purchasing, and other functions whose activities need to be planned to meet sales demand.

A statement of expected future occurrences; that which is predicted.
Predicted demand for electric power for a given customer or group of customers for a given period. A forecast may be short-term (e.g., 15 minutes) for system operation purposes, five to ten years for a contract period, or twenty years for generating planning purposes. The forecast will typically include identification of baseload, intermediate and peak demand based upon historical sales and projected growth data.
A prediction of future conditions by analysis of data. For example, precipitation forecasts are based on meteorological data.
is an estimate of what a future might be. Even though a particular forecast may be supported by various levels of facts and trends, it doesn'tÕt mean that it will happen. Oft-times probabilities are attached to a forecast. A good example is a weather forecast. ()

Astrologers do not predict a set future, for there isn't one. Instead, astrologers forecast possibilities, opportunities, and challenges so that clients are able to make better decisions for their future.
a prediction of the value of a variable in a statistical study

A statistical technique that has wide applicability in business. Forecasting requires making judgments about future events based on an analysis of past events and factors that might affect those events in the future
