The expression ?just a heads up? means a warning, a hint, or a signal that a danger, uncomfortable situation, or unforeseen event might be on its way. The expression most likely comes from sports, where players use it when throwing a ball or seeing one coming their way.
The expression ?heads up? can be used by itself and serves more or less the same purpose. Nevertheless, by adding ?just? in front of it, the speaker tones down the gravity and magnitude of the warning.
