Tim: The forecast module uses a completely different schema and database. What you need to do is configure the module to a separate database and in your skin, bring in the data to be presented.
I personally use John Kline's weewx forecast driver ( GitHub - chaunceygardiner/weewx-forecast: forecasting extension for weewx <https://github.com/chaunceygardiner/weewx-forecast>) as it is being maintained and it works with the latest version of WeeWX (v4.8). You will need to look at the sample pages that accompany the driver and integrate the cheetah template code into your skin. Best practice is to copy your existing skin folder (eg seasons) to a separate folder (seasons-forecast) and make the modifications there. I usually use the wee_reports utility to generate the html when I make changes to the skin. Please let us know if you have any questions.
