Looking at the driver I would have expected the default mapping of rain to rain would do the job. The Observer parser actually calculates the difference between successive rain_total values and stores this in field rain. When the mapping occurs you want this parsed rain field to be mapped to the weeWX rain field. Using rain_total would map that cumulative value to the weeWX rain field (which is per interval not cumulative) so I would expect some very wrong and big numbers.
