I found a service bulletin 42-69 excessive moisture in the air system but the truck is not having any of the symptoms it describes. This "ONLY" happens when it rains really hard and there is no error code.

Found a post on another forum about the rain trough under the windshield leaking down onto the compressor. Kind of leaning in that direction. Was thinking of maybe taking a couple gallons of water and try to replicate the heavy rain to see if it is in fact leaking onto the compressor. This is on a 2016 freightliner cascadia.

Thoughts?

Next time when you got rainy weather and bad brake check with someone help is it braking system or just wet shoes and drums. Do you have brake apply pressure gauge? What is the pressure?
