I am an undergrad minoring in atmospheric science (hoping to go to grad school for meteorology), and my favorite textbook, hands down, is: http://www.amazon.com/SEVERE-HAZARDOUS-WEATHER-INTRODUCTION-METEOROLOGY/dp/075755041X/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1304034575&sr=1-2
It's extremely easy to understand and I actually enjoyed reading it.
A better known introductory textbook is: http://www.amazon.com/Meteorology-Today-C-Donald-Ahrens/dp/0495555738/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1304035166&sr=1-2
The explanations and pictures are thorough and helpful, but I didn't like it as much. It does come with a cloud chart though!
And for a more technical look into atmospheric science I have this beaut: http://www.amazon.com/Meteorology-Scientists-Engineers-Roland-Stull/dp/0534372147/ref=pd_sim_b_4
The math is pretty straight forward for the most part, and has a lot of examples and practice problems. Plus it familiarizes you with thermodynamic charts, which are a lot of fun (and yes, I am being completely serious).
Hope that helped!
For Thermodynamics and Dynamics my professors referenced this book a TON. I used it more for Thermo, but it's good for each topic. Stull - Meteorology for Scientist and Engineers Good luck, dynamics was one of my tougher classes, but VERY interesting.
