weather-FoxWeatherProvider
The Fox Weather Provider is an available type when adding a WeatherReport in the Weather Manager, as an alternative to the default NwsWeatherProvider. See it in the drop-down Type to Add field in the New dialog when adding a new WeatherReport.

NOTE: Usage is intended for a remote JACE station without Internet access, but which is a subordinate of a Supervisor station already using the WeatherService. Otherwise,
you can use the default type: NwsWeather Provider. To use, the following must already be configured:
- An enabled NiagaraStation in its NiagaraNetwork, representing the remote Supervisor station.
- The remote Supervisor station must have an enabled NiagaraStation representing the remote station.
- The remote Supervisor’s WeatherService must have one or more working WeatherReports.
When adding, in a secondary New dialog, you select the NiagaraStation that represents the Supervisor, and then a specific WeatherReport in that remote station’s WeatherService.

Once added, the remote station gets updated weather data by connecting to the Supervisor and “pulling” the values from the Supervisor's WeatherService.
