A storm planet would likely not feature any river cut crevices. Most would be wind cut so the left over material would and should be something a bit harder.
The clouds and wind will be going likely in the direction of the canyons as well.
The planet should also have indications it is hot; a constant weather pattern is the result of heat. So ideas of rivers and the sort is not likely but steam vents and mud/clay like gravel would likely be the composition of the ground. The formations would be windswept still.
Also last I checked the Storm planets are mostly a no fly zone; we'd be using the ground based MCCs instead.
Anyways good luck on your refinement of the art assets.

Hmm I think the towers would have to be specifically designed to be wind turbines and lightning rods as well and braced against the wind.
Also building a base inside the canyons and raised roadways in the canyon would be the way to go. Down in the canyon your a bit safe up on the cliff you have a chance of getting struck by lightning.

The planet being cold then is most likely the result of a thicker atmosphere then which then absorbs all the heat from the sun which then powers its constant storms and barely any of that heat it hits the surface. Chances are surface will be cold; whatever liquid is being used for storm making material is definitely not water and the atmosphere is sorely lacking in greenhouse type gases as heat is not getting trapped. Also the planet temperature is a world wide temp reading the polars could be really cold and there is a very small narrow belt of place to live around the equator.
This may explain the grey/blue color spectrum most storm planets have.
Most storm worlds would be bubble places to live anyways; constant exposure is not good in the first place.

A true to life example of a 'storm' world check out Venus. Unfortunately unlike venus a storm world would likely feature high winds at surface as well. Along with lightning and precipitation of somesort. When I think storm I think of weather quickly changing from frozen thunderstorms to so hot your suits melt. Though I know that's not our kinda storm.. Also good work, it looks good.
Storm planets are just in a constant state of a storm. Similar to what a gas giant experiences but with a rocky core and a decent atmosphere. While not exactly observed in reality yet; there are planetoids in our own solar system that comes close to the expression. Notably saturn's largest moon Titan; and our second planet in sol system; Venus.
Now I am no astronomer or weather man but based on what I know you need a few things to have a constant storm off.
To have weather you need a heat absorbing liquid material.
Heat
and
Place to Cool Off.
To have constant weather you need heat and material to the extreme. Too much heat and its going to result in a barren world eventually. Too much material and all the heat is going to get absorbed.
A locked orbit where one side is constantly exposed and all of its storm liquid (doesn't have to be water methane has been observed to mimic the water cycle on Titan with its storms) is constantly being boiled into the atmosphere being that of high pressure it quickly shifts to the lower pressure side (dark) of the planet making for constantly unpleasant weather which definitely includes extremely high winds. The material used for storms is likely flowing back to the hot side underground as most winds wouldn't allow it to flow in that direction.
A hot surface. The material being used is likely being boiled by the planet itself and the material goes up into the atmosphere where it is then cooled and brought back down to the surface.
A hotter sun; basically the results of climate change earth is experiencing.
