setInterval function
setInterval(functionReference:Function, interval:Number, [param1:Object,
param2, ..., paramN]) : Number
setInterval(objectReference:Object, methodName:String, interval:Number,
[param1:Object, param2, ..., paramN]) : Number

And further down on that page there's a complete example.
And the weatherInterval property should be private.
There is no problem whatsoever with private properties and setInterval.
I use them all the time.
You should consider making the WeatherManager class a Singleton as well.
