You can do a fair amount of that with Weather Display running in
stationless mode and fetching METAR data off the net I think (not sure
if the data is available free though). WD can also fetch webcam images
(or a weather map...). Not sure about video though. Weather Display Live
gives you a very nice flash based gui.

Whatever happened to the UK Weather Channel anyway?
