I have been wanting to do this, but I really need and easy to use hands-on
activities to connect to this.  From what I have seen, the computer terminal
attached to the weather instruments is really geared toward lab instruction
and not to an un-manned interactive exhibit.  So someday I would really like
to have something like this.

One thing that someone at Weathernet said was that a coastal science center
in the east had it hooked up to measure tides.
