I was thinking Air and Destruction, but with Complete Devine out there is the Wheather domain but that would seem to cover a wider spectrum. Weapons I was going to go with 2 spears and possible javelines. Taking feats like point black shot & quick draw so I can use them in melee ranged combat (seeing you don't take the -4 penalty if your within 10ft I didn't see the need to take precise shot). And I was thinking improved smiting if I took the Destruction domain. Basically I want him to be a Storm lord at some stage, so anyone got any ideas?

The new domain spells Ball Lightning, Ride the Lightning, Spark of Life, and Storm of Destruction are pretty nifty - especially Spark of Life.

Not sure if the world the campaign is set in actually has Talos, but I'm sure there's a similar god. Now my idea for the character is that he is more of a elementalist than anything else and cleric seemed to suit better than anything else. My first Domain for him is Air to go with the whole electricity theme. I was tossing up to use the new Whether domain but I opted to go for Air as it has the whole Rubuke, command or bolster air creatures special ability which learn more towards the theme. But for the second domian I'm at a bit of a loss. I was thinking the Destruction Domian to go with the whole lightning typically destroys whatever it touches, but I'm not too sure. But then I was thinking Protection as to be a Storm lord you need to have been hit by lightning. Anyone got any ideas?

Especially since you won't be casting it until level 9. 2) Luck Domain: Once you get hit, you'll be needing to make a Reflex save. You can use the Luck ability to reroll it if it doesn't look like the results will be good. 3) Storm Domain: Definately a good choice, unless it's been really changed in 3.5. The version in the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting provides you with Electricity Resistance 5, and you'll be able to Call Lightning down on yourself with a decent chance of survival. As an added bonus, it's one of Talos' domains.
