Wow. Talk about "getting your feet wet". The CAT200 (www.catauto.com) and other basic repeater controllers can talk to the Peet Brothers weather stations. I have three of the CAT200 controllers and have had zero problems with them. You will need their serial interface board, which has a microprocessor on it designed to talk to the Peet weather stations. I've only used the RS-232 portion of that interface board. They make several different controllers and I don't know how many others can talk to the weather station.
There are other companies who make controllers. The more advanced ones have programming capabilities that would let you talk to just about anything via a serial port. I'm sure other people are doing this in similar mountain-top locations. Give people some time to read and respond to your post.
