The rain value from the wxt has been a constant zero:

The current output message looks like so:
0R0,Dm=103D,Sm=0.8M,Ta=20.5C,Ua=94.2P,Pa=1.0072B,Rc=0.00M,Hc=0.0M,Vs=12.8V\r\n
I rserial'd in and displayed the current precip configuration with the "0RU cr lf" command:
0RU,R=00000000&10010000,I=1,U=M,S=M,M=C,Z=A,X=10000,Y=6553\r\n
Switched it fromM=C to M=T. From the manual:
M=Autosend mode
C = tipping bucket: The transmitter sends a
precipitation message at each unit increment (0.1
mm/0.01 in). This simulates conventional tipping
bucket method.
T = time based: Transmitter sends a precipitation
message in the intervals defined in the I field.
However, in polled protocols the autosend mode
tipping bucket should not be used as in it the
resolution of the output is decreased (quantized to
tipping bucket tips).
