Work around for ancient wxnow.txt code not working correctly #222

So I have been having issues with cumulus MX not outputting the pressure data that it has and shows on both the web server and in the realtime.txt file. It for some reason shows b0000 in the wxnow.txt file. From what I understand this code for wx now is beyond old and has issues. So I went and "made" (vibe code I have about 1 brain cell when it comes to code) a python program that takes the data from realtimeguages.txt and formats it into the ancient wxnow.txt format for APRS and other things. Bypassing the old WXnow file. Its not perfect but it does work for me. Yes it is a second program that must be run but its better than the current wxnow file which does not output rainfall data. Enjoy not having to fiddle around with late 90's/early 2000's code anymore. Only works for in of mercury though im sure yall amazing coders can make it work for whatever. I hope this helps someone else who has the same issue as me. I don't understand github too well so I just put it as a issue, I apologize if this is the wrong area.
