Weather Stations for MAC?

Are there any good weather stations that will work with Apple desktops or laptops? There are some wx stations that work with iOS systems out there but they're not very good. Some are too expensive and additions are extremely costly and do not support Apple computers. I had a wx station for many years but the company refuses to upgrade to the new Apple OS and will not in the future. Besides, they were hard wired. I want wireless.

Mac Pro, macOS 10.14

Davis uses cloud for display on a computer. Uses data from the wx, then to your wifi network, out to davis cloud, then back to your computer. Nice for davis. They can keep count of users, check your computer, and sometime downstream-charge for cloud usage. Most all tech co. are doing this. I don't cloud work. It's very costly. There is an annual charge, your data is kept there, they keep the app., their system goes down or there a power outage-so do you. If you had the app., you would charged once (same price) you'd keep your data, no one could spy on your computer, and you would have it until your computer died of old age. When working a farm all archived weather is important and the farm is nobody else's business.
