There are several. There is a freeware one that seems to get good reviews, FSRealwx there is Active Sky and Rex weather. There are probably more. You will have to decide which one is best for you.

OPUS works in networks pretty well too. You  need to synchro all your views otherwise it is a mess

I am using FS Global Real Weather that syncs weather across my WideView visual computers.  It works perfectly and is very easy to set up. It works via a "network bridge" that is built into the software.

Fred, I have all 4 weather programs and FSRW from Pilots works the best in networked PC's. I have master and slaves all with the same hardware and images. I was told that with the new "bridge" this is not necessary.
I  use it as an engine and the clouds come from REX.
As a bonus, it works with X-Plane too, switching pretty soon.

Only a happy customer.

Cheers
