As 4:00 today approaches my questions keep flooding in

I have stated previously that we don't want to pad train Brighton, but our forecast for the next 3 days calls for 70-80% rain. What is my best option? Do I put a puppy pad on the back lanai and take her there to potty so she still associates going out the back door and outside to potty, or do I just put a pad down in the house and worry about starting training over the weekend when the weather clears up?
