[EnergyPlus_Support] What will the weather file override?



I am currently using the EFG to create a standard compliant building in a particular climate zone. I would like to change the location characteristics within that climate zone (e.g. Phoenix to New Orleans) to run the same simulation in a different city. What parameters in the IDF file will be overridden by the weather file and what will I need to change by hand? From what I can figure out, the weather file seems to only override the Site:Location but I still need to input SizingPeriod:DesignDay and Site: GroundTemperature for the simulation to run. Am I correct? Or is there an easier way to change the location characteristics? Also, are there other parameters that I need to change that I am forgetting? Thanks.
