Nothing good may follow ようでは — the second clause is always a warning, a
poor prognosis, or a refusal.

ては
ては takes any undesirable condition, one-off events included (バスが遅おくれては間まに合あわない); ようでは needs the clause to describe a STANDING state or habit that stands as evidence about someone, which is why its main clause is a verdict on their prospects (見込みこみはない, 先さきが思おもいやられる) rather than a plain consequence.

ようだ
ようだ's よう is the sentence's own predicate and asserts the speaker's conjecture (雨あめが降ふるようだ); in ようでは the identical よう is frozen into a conditional frame and asserts nothing — it only supposes, and cannot end a sentence, so 降ふるようでは on its own is a fragment where 降ふるようだ is complete.
