So perhaps it was dry by then.

Its not just flight time you you need to consider either. The alternate for IBZ is usually PMI. If the weather was similarly bad, which it often is, then MAH would also be used as an alternate which is further away. So, alternate fuel for MAH plus holding fuel would probably add up to more than you’d need for LEI on a nice day, which it was.
