Good question, I would like to know as well. I use Economic Calendar | FXStreet and they tell you the expected volatility but nothing more than that. I think once you get into the swing of things you will begin understanding how impactful the news items can be.

I did some analysis of this using the vol calcs of ES around the event times. It turns out the friday jobs report and the GDP report as well as the 2pm fed announcements are by far the events that generate the most significant immediate vol.
