after reading the weewx code i discovered that how the wind values are presented in the loop packets matters. i was creating separate loop packets for windspeed and winddir, which i think caused weewx to believe that the speed is zero when processing the winddir. i changed my driver to deliver a single loop packet that includes both windSpeed and windDir. this seems to have resolved the issue as i now see windDir values in my archive records.
