It may well have worked before but it is not now. Other services such as CWOP, WOW etc are updated every archive period using data from the archive record covering that archive period. Many stations report windSpeed in loop packets but windGust is not calculated/reported (by weeWX or the station) until the end of the archive period when windGust is calculated as the highest loop packet windSpeed value seen during the archive period. Rapidfire uses loop packets, so if there is no windGust field included in the loop packet then no windGust data will be posted. Because windGust is included in the archive record posting to CWOP etc includes the windGust data.
You can see what is in each loop packet along with what is being posted to WU when using rapidfire by turning on rapidfire and setting debug=3. There will be an entry in the log just before each rapidfire post that lists the contents of the loop packet.
