Hacking together a weather monitor should be quite a bit of fun (and
reasonably easy with a 68HC11...), but just so that you know what you're
passing up:

I know this isn't quite what you were after, but I woke up and couldn't
get back to sleep.

Even if you decide to build around your own microcontroller, you might find
some of the sensors handy.
