Is it incorrect to use the word "indications" in this sentence:
There are some indications that the typhoon is coming soon.
I would change it to "signs" but I can't find a rule about this. My gut tells me the result is happening too soon and "indications" imply that it will happen later. "Weather patterns indicate a cold front next week" would be an example of where I would use the word indicate versus sign. Can anyone provide a reliable source to help me with this?
Thanks!
