I heard a reporter on the radio the other day say that, “if you want to get some work done outside this weekend, you’d better do it on Saturday, as a big rainstorm is eminent.”

Set me to wondering how something can be “noteworthy,” “known to be outstanding,” “prominent,” or “high in station” before it happens.

So, I guess the guy meant “imminent,” as in “likely to occur soon” or “impending.”

(I’m pretty sure he didn’t mean “immanent,” which is “inherent” or “taking place within the mind.”)
