have you browsed the weewx wiki?

https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki

there are two approaches that are known to work:

option 1: weewx-interceptor.  install the weewx-interceptor driver to 
capture the tcp/ip packets sent by the weather station.  the readme in the 
weewx-interceptor code has extensive explanations about different ways to 
configure your network/devices to either listen or sniff the packets.  
there are a few guides in the weewx wiki that describe users' approaches to 
doing this.

option 2: weewx-sdr.  purchase a US$20 usb software-defined radio module to 
capture the signals from the station sensors.  then use the weewx-sdr 
driver to capture the data from the sdr device.

here is a step-by-step guide that shows how to use the weewx-sdr driver:

finally, there is an outside chance that you can talk directly to the 
ws-2000 over tcp/ip.  fine offset makes an older bridge device called the 
'observer', and it will respond to certain network queries.  aussiesusan 
reverse-engineered this protocol and wrote a driver to use it:

you might want to poke at the ws-2000 to see if it supports the same or 
similar protocol.
