Mine is very similar.  The only difference may be that my tabletop monitor is color. I'll get into integration later. I'm on road right now but wanted to get back to you.

Acu-Rite 5-in-1 Color USB Digital Weather Station

-Illuminated color display
-Continuous streaming weather ticker
-12-24-hour future forecast


Stay on top of the weather with the Acu-Rite 5-in-1 Color USB Digital Weather Station. The illuminated color display is always on, featuring a backlight with dimmer control so you can read the weather easily and adjust screen's brightness. Continuous-streaming weather ticker keeps you informed of weather alerts. Indoor/outdoor temperature, wind direction, speed, chill, barometric pressure and humidity readings keep track of weather trends and displays a "feels like" temperature so you'll know if you should grab a jacket before heading out. 12-24-hour future forecast is reliably accurate. The self-emptying rain gauge is precise and mess-free. Self-calibrating for altitude. Icons for 14 different weather conditions. Includes AC power adapter. PC connectivity allows you to download weather data to your computer and view remotely. Six AA batteries (not included) needed when not using AC power adapter. Sensor unit requires four AA alkaline or lithium batteries (not included).
Color display: 8"H x 6.8"W x 1.25"D
Outdoor sensor: 10.80"H x 5.6"W x 13.75"D
Wireless range: 330ft.(100 meters)
Outdoor
Temperature range: -40˚F to 158˚F/-40˚C to 70˚C
Humidity range: 1%-99%
Wind range: 0-99 mph
Rainfall: 0-99.99"
Indoor
Temperature range:  32˚F to 122˚F/0˚C to 50˚C
Humidity range: 16%-98%

Cabelas has a good deal on the version I have. The way this works is you would install it at your qth and as long as it's connected to the internet I can access it and share it in the app. I would ask you for the mac address which is located on your receiver and load it in on my side. Once that is done, anyone can view current weather conditions in your area. Currently we have East Meadow and Lindenhurst. The more the better and its a very easy app to navigate on both android and ios systems.

I really do want one. TJ, during high winds (above 99), do you have to do anything to protect it. I only ask because the stated MPH is 0-99. I was wondering what happens above that?
