Perhaps that's it. We know, certainly, that the ten- tails is literally capable of creating storms (in canon, storm release has done nothing of the sort, but both boil and lava release initially seemed only metaphorical in their naming conventions and later proved to have more literal functions as well), so perhaps that is an advanced storm release technique.
