It will show what conditions we may expect (7,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

weather chart

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it will show what' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'conditions we may expect' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'conditions' could be 'weather' (I've seen this before) and 'weather' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'chart' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for weather chart that I've seen is " Forecaster's map".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
