There is a weather module in the sim but it's not fully functional and deactivated for performance reasons in the stock content. However, it's there on a "use at your own risk" basis because a lot of people wanted to see it.
If you go into the FMB you can set up weather patterns for your mission and it doesn't look bad at all. I remember someone posting screenshots of this from an earlier version but i can't recall exactly which thread it was. All i remember was seeing a flight of 110s cruising between two cloud layers at low altitude and the colours and general feeling of it where very much giving an impression of flying in an impending storm.
Once the graphics optimizations are complete maybe they'll move on to that and enable it, seeing as it's pretty much included in the sim already.
