My weather station is RF linked to a couple indoor displays. So far
never noticed any problem with WX station causing interference or
suffering from interference with a relatively nearby kilowatt energized
antenna covering 6, 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 40, 80, and 160 meters.
I suppose if the WX station were really really close to an antenna there
would be significant opportunity for problems. There is a standard
mounting height for a "by the book" installation if you want to
duplicate the weather service.
Good info for a typical residential installation is available lots of
places... here is one.

For any of you who use a radio tower for the side mounting of an outdoor Wx
station, do you:
Have any interference to the ham station from the Wx station?
Likewise, any interference from the station amplifiers to the Wx station? I
use an alpha 9500 amp into a 6-el 20 meter yagi at the top at 90 feet.
Lightning damage to station sensors that seem to mounted in plastic molded
enclosures?
The Wx stations I am looking at are in the $$ range of 150 to 250.
