Gary, I see the problem now. Apparently the "search_list_extension" directive I added for the forecast extension (in weewx.conf) is overriding the directive I need to add in Seasons/skin.conf. When I comment that CheetahGenerator section out of the weewx.conf file and include both forecast and metar extension in skin.conf they both run as expected. The python version 2 issue (with metargenerator.py) I think now rears it's head because I still don't see any data in the report but I think I can work that out.
I probably would have figured this out eventually going back and forth between weewx.conf and skin.conf but my thanks to you for asking for that debug file. It helped steer me in the right direction.
