My understanding is that the program has a number that follows how many hours there is until the next time the weather is checked for a change. If that number was known, a skillful modder (perhaps Fader Berg who is developing patSH3r over in the mod workshop section) might be able to make a usable weather report. It would state with some randomness how many hours or days there is for the next change.
This is just a guess, though. It would be cool, if it would be possible. Maybe the biggest flaw in SH3 is that METT-T (Mission, Enemy, Troops, Time, Terrain) is not totally usable. METT-T is the guide, that is used in planning any military operations. The weather should be a major part of SH3's Terrain, and the weather report is the Time of SH3. As the weather is not dynamic enough, there are very few surpises in the Terrain section (only once or twice I've had a weather change while making an attack approach on a convoy), and planning on using the Time that weather changes should set us, is not usable, as we have no weather report, and the weather stays exactly the same for hours, or even days.
