Here are a few...

A Tropical Storm

Showers (isolated, scattered, or numerous)

A Meteor Storm (This is not meteorological, but it is still a storm.)

Sprinkles

Dust storm

Microburst

Winter Storm

Willy-willy (a severe tropical storm with wind speed sustained over 33 knots)

Whole gale - (type of wind storm for marine interest with winds sustained between 48 to 63 knots.)

Heat Burst - (This is a sudden and large increase in winds and temperature that occurs as a large convective high based cloud that suddenly collapse sending precipitation into a deep layer of dry air. This rare event can cause damage with the comination of strong winds and very hot air. However, it usually last only a short period of time.

Witeout - a blinding storm caused by the combination of very strong gusty winds and blowing snow that caused everything to look white.

Magnetic storm (Again, not a true meteorological event, but it is a type of storm that will likely cause a worldwide disturbance of the earth's magnetic field.

Dry Line convective storms - These are storms that are caused by a rapid change in air mass density near the boundary of two significantly different airmass:
One side of the dry line will warm and humid air, while the other side will have dry and denser air. The humid and warm will move over or is lifted by the more dense dry and hot daytime air. This will make convective precipitaion possible along and near the dry line boundary.

That's a few storms off the top of my head. I don't know if some of these will work since some are just a combination of things that are on your list. Good luck!

lol - u looking for a real name? Or just one used to explain how a storm looked or happened when telling the tale? Does it have to be about weather? How about a barnbuster? Firestorm, Gullywasher Rain? (that wasn't up there) Severe, Torential, Pacific, Atlantic, etc. Tropical Depression or just depression, Sub-Tropical, Winter, ...........hope this helps.

Blizzard-The combination of heavy snow and gusty winds over 35 mph.
Cyclone-A hurricane in the Indian Ocean
Hail-balls of ice that form inside a thunderstorm, the ball of ice travels up and down and each time it goes through a layer of freezing air, it adds another layer, until it becomes too heavy to keep traveling, it descends down at 100 mph unit it hits the ground.
Hurricane-A broad area of extremely low pressure with sustained winds of over 75 mph
Ice-Rain that has frozen on contact when it hits the ground
Lightning-A very high consentration of electricity in the form of a very large spark, with temperarure 5 times hotter than the sun and enough power to light up a city for over a month.
Monsoon-A name given to highly regular seasonal winds (derived from the Arabic mausim, a season); first applied to winds over the Arabian Sea, which blow for six months from the northeast and for six months from the southwest.
Sandstorm-Gusty winds that push sand off the ground and in the air to great heights, causing 0 visibility.
Sleet-tiny ice pellet that are mistaken for snow, but fall at a faster rate than snow.
Snow-Frozen water in the form of small crystals with different shapes
Squall-A strong wind characterized by sudden onset, duration of the order of minutes, then rather sudden decrease. A squall must produce a wind speed of at least 18 m.p.h. for two minutes or longer.
Thunder-The sharp or rolling sounds resulting from lightning discharges. A lightning spark can heat the air to 54,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Such extreme heating causes air to expand explosively, initiating a shock wave that we hear as thunder. Sound waves move through the atmosphere at a speed of 720 m. p. h., or one mile in five seconds. To obtain the distance in miles of a lightning bolt, divide by 5 the number of seconds between flash and thunder.
Tornado-A violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm down to the ground. It is made visible by condensation of water vapor and by dust and debris carried aloft by the wind.
Twister-The same as a tornado, but with a different title
Water Spout-A tornado over water
Wind-The horizontal motion of air relative to the surface of the earth. Because vertical air motions are small near the surface, meteorologists use the term, wind, to refer only to the horizontal part of air motion.
Typhoon-A hurricane in the Eastern Pacific.
Rain-Liquid precipitation in the form of water drops with diameters greater than 0.02 inch. Drizzle, the only other form of liquid precipitation, consists of droplets 0.02 inch in diameter or smaller.

My first thought was a solar storm.

Likely others also.
