Usage and meaning of "for" in the sentence

Hello everyone!

Could you please help me to undestand what exactly means " is for" in the sentence: The forecast is for warm and dry weather.

I understand it as : The forecast promisses warm and dry weather.

And could you please give me some other examples with the same meaning as in original sentence.
