If you mean the visual effects, no, not to my knowledge.
Thunderstorms are a very special case -- visuals aside, they'll
require fairly sophisticated weather modelling and good turbulence
support from the FDMs even just to fake them credibly (simply
darkening the sky, making boom noises and flashing jagged white lines
would only make us look stupid).

For rain and snow, you'll have to consider the effect of wind on the
precipitation -- if the wind is gusting to 30kt, you hardly want the
snow gently drifting down.  It's a big problem, and I'd like to solve
some smaller problems first (like 3D clouds), but we'll have to hit it
someday.  If you're volunteering, you are very welcome.


All the best,


David
