I keep wanting to use eminent. Maybe the word I'm seeking sounds similar. Alright thesaurus wizards, you're on!

I believe the word you are looking for is imminent:

1 About to happen.
‘they were in imminent danger of being swept away’

(From Oxford Dictionaries.)

"Imminent" means it's seemingly going to happen soon. But it's not "certain".
