weather check
Checking the sky
A weather check is a quick assessment of current or upcoming atmospheric conditions, typically before outdoor activities or travel: Let me do a weather check before we head out.
The phrase also serves as a casual excuse to step outside briefly, sometimes to smoke or take a break: I'm just going to do a weather check.
