The lady on Calling All Pets says to make windy/thunder time play time, and you have to anticipate it before she starts spiraling down. She calls them "Thunder Treats" with her dogs. Find something the dog loves that you only offer during bad weather. You will have to stay awake of course, still, while you distract the dog.

Some dogs will be harder to distract than others. You'll have to be quick on the trigger, I'll bet--watch the weather and try to change her thinking about it before the bad weather starts.
