Also, what could explain why WEAU comes in stable even in a driving rain when the report said it was all but catchable?

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth when the horse is doing what it is supposed to.
There are substantial limits to the accuracy of the software simulation. The final determinant is to see what works when you actually get metal up in the air and test for a long duration, perhaps a full year so that you get a full cycle of atmospheric conditions over the seasons.
Rainfall itself has very little effect on UHF signal propagation. That doesn't become relevant until you get up into the microwave or satellite frequencies due to the size differential between the signal wavelength and water droplet size.
