Sure sounds like an antenna problem. Check the system on a dummy load.

The first thing I would do is see if the problem is seen with a dummy load in
circuit instead of the antenna system. No need to wait for the rain to stop.

Jack, I had a similar thing happen
Jack, I had a similar thing happen and it turned out to be a tree branch had
grown into the antenna path and when on high power the antenna was arcing to
the tree branch. Might not be a tree branch but look for any signs of possible
arching in the antenna, feed line or connectors.
