Have a look at the Formatting options <http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#formatting_options> section in the Customization Guide. $xxxxx.windSpeed.raw will certainly give you a number (not a string) with no units and you can do whatever you want with the data but you will need to do all formatting manually. Also have a look at $xxxxx.windSpeed.format, it will give you a string and there are numerous arguments that can be passed to .format that do things such as omitting the units, specifying a format string, what to display if None etc. There are examples further down.
