OH awesome!
Thanks Gigatron - just one question though if it pins to a sprite (my character), what will happen if there is many instances of this character? My character is going to be used for every character in game (just re-texture each part to make them look differently) so if I understand how you explain it - what will happen if I have this effect pinned to many characters at once?
I guess the problem I have is that; with many characters, one or two may be outside while the rest are inside - maybe I need to just have some extra layers and "move" the character who is outside to a layer that is further behind?
I can't wait to see the extra weather effect though - that will be awesome!
Thanks again

I will make an example for you .. in fact you must just use Z order for your objects.
