Mississippi State has a broadcast meteorology program online. It's set up as half journalism and half basic met stuff. I was in the geosciences program for a year and it really isn't good for someone who wants to work in any field except teaching. Also you have to be accepted to the program in order to take the classes, so that probably won't work if you just want to take a few met classes.
I would check your local community colleges. One down here in San Diego has an online intro to meteorology course. Much cheaper than going through a 4 year school and it's pretty much the same class! Just be aware that once you get past the lower division courses there are a LOT of prerequisites for the other classes (calc, differential equations, physics, chemistry, etc).
I really have to second the COMET suggestion, though. That site is beyond invaluable for anyone interested in meteorology, and it's a fantastic place to start.
