if you use tcpdump or some other tool to capture the tcp/ip traffic between
your station and mobile alerts servers, then it would be possible to extend
the weewx-interceptor driver to recognize that protocol. or just create a
standalone driver just for that protocol.
you could scrape and parse html from the mobile alerts web site, but that
approach has many problems of its own.
it might be possible to write a driver that uses the mobile alerts API to
get data from mobile alerts, but if mobile alerts does not support all of
the sensors, then that does not seem like time well spent.
