consider these options:

1) write your own driver.  this driver would query the weather station.  
run one instance of weewx using this driver, and another instance of weewx 
with your existing configuration, resulting in two databases.  integrate 
the data from both instances in a combined report.

2) write a service.  this service would query the weather station and add 
its data to whatever data you are currently getting.  if the data overlap 
(e.g., both stations report windSpeed) then you will have to extend the 
database schema.

option (1) will be much easier to write and maintain.

what kind of hardware is the commercial grade weather station?

how do you communicate with it?
