What tires are we talking about?

One wet track day = 5 dry track days in terms of experience/teaching car control.

Stock MPSS , they were great in wet last time; have about 6800 miles on them now, easy miles.

Read the book "the art of racing in the rain". Of course you go, hats some of the best training you will get. Just make sure you have good tires and not psc2. Some version of SuperSport will be great. They typically let you roll up windows as well.

Also I assume you won't be going out on the track if it's a torrential downpour, so you'll hopefully have some time to find cover if it starts raining bad.

Rain or shine means any amount of rain. At least up to 2" in 12 hours (with periods of much heavier rainfall rates) that I personally know of.

MPSS 285/35-18 tires, wipers running at fast speed, driver side window open (nobody sitting right seat). There's a little excitement about 11 minutes in that I'm surprised didn't happen sooner.

Nice run. I did run in similar rain at New Hampshire Motor Speedway... But only an M5 spun... I had no camera was not allowed.
