Could use some help groking SOL weather planner settings

I've read the very well written instructions for updating from older versions to SOL 2.2.2b3 and CSP 1.78p1, and things are working great overall. I also read the SOL Weather Planner instructions (also very well written, thank you Peter!)

But one thing in particular still confuses me; Let's say I just want Heavy Thunderstorms of random intensity. I go in, add 9 Heavy Thunderstorms at 3 minutes each. And it works, but either I'm very unlucky or I not understanding something fundamental, because each of those Thunderstorms will generally be close to the same intensity. For example, I only rarely get much in the way of puddles, but when I look at the settings it would seem to indicate that I should be getting intensity of several types that change every 3 minutes; rain, wetness, puddles etc. But in order to really get (for example) a significant portion of the road 'puddled' I have to go in and manually increase it.

I'm missing something really obvious, aren't I?
