The reviews say it is mostly weatherproof, but suggests not leaving it out in the rain for extended periods of time because the USB connection is exposed.

Yes I did, sorry. I was going to link the same antenna.

The antenna I'll need will be outside for months at a time.
You cannot extend yout INTERNAL wireless card vai an USB antenna. The antenna needs to be directly connected to the wireless card. usually its done with coax, ive never seen other solutions than coax to connect wlan antennas.

Andreas is right - you can't extend an antenna without coax.
You'd be better off finding a WLAN NIC with a RP-SMA connector on it and using a proper external WLAN antenna which can be installed outside.
