Doesn't have anything to do with the rain specifically. It's the barometric pressure.
I know 2 Narragansett sharpies who have consistently caught the biggest and the most Stripers year in and year out for 20+ years.
They have made a science of the barometric pressure rises and drops and how it affects the bass bite. They may not be right all the time but they are right more times then not.
I have had discussions with them and they really charted the pressure and the resulting fishing and the one thing the remained constant was that Bass bite on a front. High pressure coming in, low pressure coming in. It didn't matter. When there was a dramatic change in barometric pressure the bass turned on.
