Not using rapidfire, since that seems to bug out sometimes on the raspi.

I started the app in debug mode, and I noticed it said barometer: none, and 
altimeter: 29.7  pressure:23.69

weatherstation.wunderground.com/weatherstation/updateweatherstation.php?action=updateraw&ID=hidden&softwaretype=weewx-3.6.2&windgustmph=2.7&humidity=094&dailyrainin=0.00&winddir=028&tempf=16.5&windspeedmph=2.1&rainin=0.00&baromin=30.184&dewptf=15.1&dateutc=2017-01-25%2008%3A00%3A00

There got the url it sent, and it's trying to send the corrected barometer 
reading of 30.18, but then I look on the site, and it shows 30.08. Looks 
like WU is the issue for some reason
