Is there a way to input metars into VATIS manually? I have noticed that the metars make it to my VATIS box about 10-12 minutes after they are published IRL. Normally it isn't an issue, however when there are storms or rapidly changing weather in the area and the real ATIS at a facility is changing every 5 minutes my VATIS could end up 4 or more letters behind.

No this is not possible. The METARs come from the network, so if they are delayed, so is vATIS.
