FS RWW doesn't/can't replicate a hurricane. The best you'll get is 'current' conditions (minus lag time) from the nearest wx station, assuming the station hasn't been knocked out by the storm.
If you fly over land you may see the local weather change appropriately but if you fly out to sea you will not as there are no wx stations there, i.e: you wont find the 'eye' of the storm.
