If you are using a more advanced synth or a keyboard, or maybe a Roland or Yamaha soundcard, there will probably be additional sounds you can select by sending MSB & LSB bank select messages. You do this in Finale by creating an expression and entering the controller number and data in the Playback Options. You will need to look in the handbook of the synth/keyboard to find out what data to send. I've looked through my handbook and there are no breeze sounds on my SW1000XG card. As a suggestion, you could try creating a whining sound using high Ocarina (patch 80) or Pan Flute (76) notes with lots of pitch bend. I don't know if that could be called a breeze (in more senses than one). More like a hurricane! Alternatively, as you have Fin 2004, you could try to find a suitable sound effects soundfont to use with the new SmartMusic soft synth. You might need to buy that, but first try looking for a free download at http://www.hammersound.net/ or other soundfont sites. I don't have Fin2004 myself so I can't advise more on this. If you're really desperate, you could try making your own soundfont using Vienna and recorded WAV samples. That's a whole new topic.
