This location has an Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS). As NOAA has posted "Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) units are automated sensor suites that are designed to serve meteorological and aviation observing needs. There are currently more than 900 ASOS sites in the United States. These systems generally report at hourly intervals, but also report special observations if weather conditions change rapidly and cross aviation operation thresholds."
Looking at the pictures I took of the weather station and reading up of them (with pictures) I was able to determine the station has an anemometer to measure the direction and speed of wind, a visibility sensor, and a ceilometer to determine the height of cloud ceilings.
During a quick discussion with someone at the airport I was told data on pressure is also produced by the weather stations barometer.
