There is a highly developed multi-organizational effort under the umbrella of the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) group, home page http://www.wrf-model.org/index.php . This is the same basic model that is operational on massively parallel systems at NCAR and NCEP. Considerable resources and documentation are available from this link.
As with the operational weather models the availability and incorporation of real-time observational data is essential and highly refined. There are versions and subsets of these models that are run on 1..n systems. As one would expect from such a non-trivial application, the implementation on one's own system is not trivial; however there are many individuals and low-budget sites getting usable results from these models today.
