Looking at the above excerpt, I'm not sure whether I'm overthinking things or
whether it doesn't mean what I think it does. On first glance I thought it
might be just a shortened way of saying 予感がする but I'm not quite sure if this
is right. Take for example, 今日も暑くなりそうな予感がする朝, which talks about a morning
which gives that impression(as opposed to saying that is the premonition
someone has). So my question is, does the statement mean that they have the
above mentioned premonition, the message gives that impression, or something
else?

question
grammar meaning
Meaning of なんか面白いことが起こりそうな予感
It is a common technique named 「体言止{たいげんど}め」, which is to end a sentence with
a noun or pronoun instead of a verb or adjective, which is more "normal" for
the language.

「体言」 means "nouns and pronouns" and 「止め」, "ending (a sentence)".

This technique allows the reader/listener to finish up the sentence. So, it is
all up to you. Most native speakers, however, would read the sentence as
being:

> 「なんか面白{おもしろ}いことが起{お}こりそうな予感{よかん} **がする** 。」

or

> 「なんか面白いことが起こりそうな予感 **がある** 。」

In your words, it is "they have the above mentioned premonition".
