In the older thread ( Loss of all engines in a thunderstorm. ), you wrote that damage to the radome (and thus, unreliable/malfunctioning weather radar) was a contributing cause.

That's also relevant here, because you can only avoid heavy rain if you know where it is. And when that "gap between storm cells" is really water in your radome blocking the returns, well...
