Morphology
The meaning 'a prediction about future weather' is directly and compositionaly derived from 'weather' (state of the atmosphere) + 'forecast' (prediction of future conditions). This straightforward noun+noun combination is cross-linguistically common and would be understood by a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Weather forecast comes from the idea of the word forecast, where fore means 'before' and cast means 'to show or tell'. So a weather forecast is a short report that tells what the weather will be in the future.
