What it literally says
as for tomorrow's weather, how is it
Japanese politeness is mostly built out of phrases that stopped being literal a long time ago. Knowing what is underneath is the difference between repeating a sound and knowing what you said.
When to use it
Everyone checks. The forecasts are unusually accurate.
