In theory, with enough practice they could (I've got a theory that pegasus flight and weather functions are possible due to their interaction with the moisture in the air-due to the relative imcompressibility of water, the moisture tends to move away when they push it, which allows them to push clouds around, as well as allowing them to walk on clouds.  In short, moisture in the air is as tangible to them as a solid object is to us.  That allows them to bounce themselves off the air in flight, making them VERY maneuverable (think thrust vectoring via hooves, with their wings simply providing steering and flight power).  Makes their hooves pretty sensitive, I'll bet, explaining why Dash doesn't like having her hooves messed with)

So...if a pegasus could practice with moisture enough, they could in theory do things like expand a puddle of water into a fog or cloud, and then work with it from there, but it would take A LOT of practice that's really kinda unncessary, especially since they have a more effecient weather factory to do the job for them, and on a much larger scale.
