Impending is a state that is independent of say the participants.

In otherwords, a storm is impending whether or not anyone is around to know so, if said storm is in fact to occur at some temporal point.

Anticipated is a state that depends upon particpants.

Thus, a storm is anticipated is there is one or more entities that expect the storm to occur.

Note, impending is essentially certain while anticipated is not.
