Something happen to really scare her. This herbal tincture called "Rescue Remedy" is good for calming dogs during storms or there is this plug-in called "Comfort Zone" that emits pheramones to calm the aminal. Try to lure her outside with treats and the door open to an enclosed area. You might also just putting her on leash and walk her around the house and with door already open run with her straight out the door. Don't enforce that negative behavior by picking her up and consoling her. Act like going outside is normal and relax your body language.

Sounds like lack of socialisation. That is, socialisation to everything - dogs, people, traffic, loud bangs, other types of animals etc etc- Socialisation to everything should be done before 16 weeks.
As your dog is 1 year you can still socialise her but it is just more difficult. There is a CD available that has all sorts of noises on it, including storms. Be careful how you introduce your dog to the sounds. There is a specific way to do it. Your vet or a behaviourist will help with that.
Good luck.
PS Remember Labradors are gun dogs so if they are introduced to loud noises properly they cope very well.

If she hasent been scared to go outside before, maybe somebody mistreated her when she was outside, and you didnt know it, and she is scared now.
