Weather packets were being decoded incorrectly. Over the air packets for weather are in wind miles per hour. Rain is in hundreths of an inch according to the official spec.
This patch changes the weather packet output to include the wind_speed and winddirection as part of the weather dict in the packet instead of course and speed. According to the APRS Spect CSE/SPD for weather packets, which are denoted with the character are supposed to be used for wind speed and wind direction.
"The on-air APRS WX protocols, however, still will be in MPH and F."
"RAIN VALUES: Rain is counted in increments of 0.1 or 0.01 inch or 1mm. but reports all values in 0.01 inches over the air."
