Weather Music for Piano?

I'm looking for a suite of piano sheet music that will imitate the weather, or at least accompany it well. Preferably classical music, but contemporary works as well. And nothing too difficult - I've been playing for about 7 years and gotten pretty far, but I'd like to be able to learn it in about six months. Any suggestions welcome; thanks.

    Chopin's Winter Wind Etude nice. or you can go with Chopin's "Raindrop" Prelude, There's also Liszt's Waldesrauchen (Forest Murmurs). Although this piece is not much of a "weather" piece, it sounds like the wind is blowing through the trees, and there's a part where there's a storm, and the leaves are blowing like crazy. Also, if you want a flowing "watery" piece, you can go with Debussy's Reflets dans l'eau (Reflections in the Water). If executed well, it will sound like flowing water. Finally, my personal favourite, Debussy's Ce qu'a vu le vent d'ouest (What the west wind saw). This piece beautifully imitates a storm.
