I figured with the new job and all I should start paying attention to the weather. Ended up picking up a top of the line (Oregon Scientific Weather 500, $41 at Target) consumer model. I don't have anywhere to put a rain or wind guage so no need to go for the professional version.
Once setup it operates very well. The setup is a pain in the hind end as the documentation is not very complete. One of my largest problems is that neighbors already had sensors and I needed to set mine to use the third frequency channel. That took a good 20 minutes to figure out. Really very easy. Just hold the up arrow and mode button to get it to detect the remote sensor and then hit the up or down arrows to change which frequency it should be sensing on.
For the outside sensor I needed to be a bit creative to be able to keep it dry. This setup is going to be modified by cutting the ends of the lid off and then putting the cover on as normal.
