I've been using Weather Now for a couple of months with a minimum of fuss in terms of initial setup and use. I did have two issues, but the developer has been extremely responsive in responding to my emails and fixing the problems. All in all, not a bad option (in terms of cost) for getting my Vantage II Pro weather information uploaded to one of the online weather sites. I'm also using the Apple-scripting capability to import the weather information into a home automation program which was also straightforward.

I can recommend this program.

Ratings: It may not have all the wiz-bang display features of some other more costly options, but it provides (and provides it well) the two main features that I wanted (uploading and Applescript).

If you encounter a problem please check back to see if there are any follow up questions that will help solve the issue.

I've looked at the code to make sure I didn't accidently comment part out, but the code to catch if you don't have a recognized serial port is still there, and the code to catch if you don't have a recognized weather station connected is still there. So, to solve the problem I will need some assistance from those being hit by them...
