I'm not that familiar with weather stations, so I'm not sure how good of a deal this is.
La Crosse has their wind + weather station on sale for $49. Comes with Breeze Pro Sensor (wind speed, wind direction, temperature, and humidity sensor) and display. Seems like the display was supposed to have WiFi but they goofed at manufacturing. The Breeze Pro Sensor (LTV-WSDTH01) is normally $69.95 MSRP.

Just the display (79400-11) is on sale for $25:

Cheapest shipping was $2.00 for me (FedEx - Smart Post).
Also on eBay ($49.95) with free shipping:

Edit: seems like it uses 915 MHz, so in theory you can buy it and a $20 RTL-SDR to get the data on your computer/Raspberry Pi/whatever. So for about $70 (the same price as the sensor itself), you get the sensor, the display, and a RTL-SDR dongle.

"The 79400 provides accurate backyard wind speed & direction, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure data. Its display can also accept multiple add-on rain, water leak, and temp/humidity sensors to monitor other areas of your home. This unique opportunity is the result of a software error in the unit's WiFi chip. And though this part has been disabled, it remains a fully functional standalone option for monitoring your home and backyard conditions. This is a one-time chance to own a personal weather station at a fraction of the normal cost. So act fast! When they're gone, they're gone!"

Included LTV-WSDTH01 Wireless Outdoor Temp, Humidity and Wind Sensor
So it includes the sensor and the indoor display
Weather sensors tend to only cover portions of a zip code and not all or even most of it. With these systems, assuming you can connect with something like weather underground, you can help with weather monitoring and prediction. Someone correct me but IMO this is more for data geeks
