Tower visibility is forwarded to which entity?

Explanation:
Official airport weather observations, including the tower’s visibility, are handled by the Weather Observer. This on-site observer is responsible for collecting and recording surface weather data at the airport and then forwarding those observations to the meteorological network, which feeds METARs and other weather products. Centers manage air traffic control rather than originate weather reports, Flight Service Stations disseminate weather information to pilots, and while a Meteorological Station is where data are received and stored, the act of forwarding the tower visibility comes from the Weather Observer.
