Spanish term or phrase: Conocer con anticipación cuales son las previsiones

En este contexto:

"Además, conocer con anticipación cuáles son las previsiones del resto de variables explicativas será clave para realizar una predicción correcta: Distribución, Precio, Promociones, Publicidad, Temperatura, Inventarios, Eventos, Fuerza de Ventas, etc."

A voz de pronto encuentro lo siguiente, que no me suena nada bien:

"In addition, to know beforehand what are the forecasts for the rests of the explanatory variables will be key to achiving an accurate forecast".

I think "forecast" is awkward in this context because some of the elements we think of in terms of a forecast (weather), while others we think of in terms of what is anticipated, planned, expected...Those terms often work better for "prever" than "foresee/forecast."
