You could look at the sky, then at the barometer, and then back to the sky before passing judgement. Or you could do what the rest of us do, either listen to or more often bring up the websites of the relevant forecasts.

I use the Met Office Oban (for the land forecast) along with the relevant sea areas:
Met Office inshore waters forecast from the Mull of Kintyre to Ardnamurchan Point
Met office inshore waters forecast from Ardnamurchan Point to Cape Wrath excluding the Minch
Met Office inshore waters forecast for the Minch

Contrary to some very strongly held beliefs, I find these forecasts, and the Met Office website generally, very good. If anything they seem to over emphasise the likely problems - which is good.

There is also the useful and rather accurate xcweather.com giving wind, temperature and rain forecasts for up to seven days ahead.

Finally you could take a look at the weather on the ground at the time by checking various webcams although I must confess I usually look at them to check that I did the right thing by staying put.
