2) State concern: "I'm concerned that a visual approach is too risky in this weather."
3) State the problem: "Visual approaches only work in low wind (or whatever conditions), and the weather report says we're not within those conditions."
4) State a solution: "I suggest we change plans and prepare for [alternate landing method], starting with [first step]."
5) Get buy-in: "Do you agree with that course of action, Captain?"
(Note that the pilot did just the first two ... or maybe only half of the second or third.)

So in this case, the proper action would be:
1) Get attention: "Captain ..."
2) State concern: "I'm concerned that a visual approach is too risky in this weather."
3) State the problem: "Visual approaches only work in low wind (or whatever conditions), and the weather report says we're not within those conditions."
4) State a solution: "I suggest we change plans and prepare for [alternate landing method], starting with [first step]."
5) Get buy-in: "Do you agree with that course of action, Captain?"
