The weather report you issue for your own future, usually wrong, always confident.
means Your general view or expectation of how things will turn out — whether that's the economy, the weather, or your own life.
from A straightforward compound of 'out' and 'look' — from the old literal sense of looking out, as from a window or watchtower, to survey what lies ahead. By the 1700s it had stretched from a physical view over a landscape to a mental one: the view you take of the future or of circumstances in general.
