@PrinceIMC:
1) Her winds will not blow away her weather cover as the weather would be constantly generating the cover. She could use snow instead of fog and combine that with her enormous winds. She has used this tactic before. I believe in Uncanny 167, for instance, she fought the Brood in the form of Xavier. She hit it with a multiple attack: fog and snow to blind it, winds to move it where she wanted it to go, and cold to freeze it. Poccy can probably locate people telepathically if he can't locate them visually. Storm can shield herself from being detected telepathically.
2) In regards to the endurance factor you brought up, its a very good argument, but Storm is a special case. In Ororo's case, there are numerous instances in canon where she creates a storm and that storm continues even when she doesn't pay attention to it. As a matter of fact, in her battle with Proteus, he knocked her unconscious after she created a storm and the storm kept raging even after she was unconscious. It continued until it ran out of energy. Therefore, she's not going to tire out. Those winds are going to be blowing constantly and it would not require any effort on her part for them to maintain there barrage against Apocalypse.
3) From what I understand about Apocalypse, he is a mutant who just aquired celestial technology and uses it to boost his powers or something. That would make his brain organic. Even if it were only partially organic, playing with pressure around the brain would case some major problems for him. I am not using Storm's tactic of being able to snatch the air out of his lungs as he may be able to survive indefinately without air owing to the technology he's in possession of. However, he does need his brain no matter what. If Storm increases the pressure in his skull around his brain, she could do a tremendous amount of damage. Shape-shifting isn't going to stop this as she will always know where his brain is located. She can percieve the universe as patterns of energy and forces: http://img63.imageshack.us/i/energyworld24lq.jpg/

So given this ability, even if Poccy were to go underground, she would still be able to locate him as she would be able to see through the dirt, rock and stone that would be hidiing him. Given that her winds can scour the surface of the world to its bedrock and given that her winds can also punch objects through mountains, even if he were to tunnel underground, she could punch through the earth to get to him. Also, if she knows where he is, she will always be able to manipulate the pressure inside of his body. She's been down in the Morlock tunnels before and was able to control the elements topside of the ground. Therefore, if she's in the air, she should be able to control the elements underground since the earth does not present a barrier against her power. So she can always get to the pressure inside of Poccy's body.
4) Storm overloading Poccy would be a gamble on her part. Can she or can't she? Who knows? She would obviously have to do it in one shot otherwise Poccy could simply channel the energy out of him to avoid the energy build up. She's overloaded Sebastien Shaw with a single bolt of lightning and she's overloaded Polaris with lightning as well. Granted, I think it would take more power to overload Apocalypse, she may be able to do it. I believe that Cyclops has done this before. If he has, then Storm could definitely do it as she wields much more energy than Cyclops.
