as of 1 jan 2018, not directly.  if you use the weewx-interceptor driver, 
you can configure your network to relay packets on to myacurite.com.  but 
there is no direct support for uploading to myacurite.com.

writing an uploader for myacurite.com should be a fairly easy python 
project, but there are some gotchas.

on one hand, myacurite.com looks a lot like any other 'cloudy' service - 
send them your data, use their web interface to view a (limited subset) of 
whatever you sent.

however, myacurite.com is a lot like davis' weatherlink - each provides the 
service to encourage you to buy their hardware.

other services such as weather underground, cwop, ukmet are 
hardware-agnostic.

i'm not sure how acurite would like receiving data from non-acurite 
hardware :)

it looks like the next generation of acurite hardware uses encryption to 
communicate with the acurite servers, so unless chaney/acurite publishes 
the protocols and/or gives users the encryption keys to unlock their own 
data, reverse engineering that protocol will be much more difficult than 
for the existing myacurite.com.

then the next question is, how long will chaney/acurite support the older, 
non-encrypted hardware.

anyway, if you would like to take a crack at a myacurite.com uploader, 
start up a thread in weewx-developer.  the boilerplate for an uploader 
should take about 30 minutes to write, and we can show you how to do that. 
 after that, most of the time will be spent learning the quirks of how the 
myacurite.com servers communicate.
