Assimilation of MADIS data is not directly available through WRFDA. However, the WRFDA group maintains a conversion utility "MADIS2LITTLER", which converts netCDF MADIS data into LITTLE_R format for assimilation in WRFDA (or obs-nudging in WRF). You can find this utility on the web at the WRFDA website: http://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/users/wrfda/download/madis.html Compilation and use instructions can be found in the README file provided in that package.
