I use to install WX500's and the like when I worked at the Avionics shop up
in Albany NY years ago.  The Storm Scope system has a very sensitive
antenna.  Many items interfere with this system.  The company has a tool
that maps the best location for there antenna.  One of you local shops may
have a mapper.  You many have to lease a loaner or go to a service center.
If you are looking to do it on the cheep, move the antenna as far away from
any motors, output antennas, and hi voltage(strobe lights) items as you
can.  Try to copy someone that has had success with the same setup
including AP servo locations.
