In some cases, yes. A volcanic eruption is often preceded by earthquakes with unique signatures. A volcano preparing to erupt may also bulge outward. In some cases a volcano may start venting steam, or more steam than usual. Sometimes small steam eruptions may occur as rising magma boils groundwater. This is a complicated matter however. In some cases a volcano may show signs of erupting, but nothing will come of it.
