It would take a hell of a lot of rain to flood the canyon. Some springs it doesn't even flood with the snow melt.
I wouldn't worry about isolated storms. It might not even rain. If it does, it shouldn't last long and there are plenty of places to hangout and stay dry, and even climb when it is raining. I've never been rained on there but would guess the rock drys pretty quickly if it gets wet.

The campground is right at the rim. Can't miss it.
I'd wager that the only places to climb while it's raining are parts of the Main Wall, and maybe the ridonkulously steep stuff at Swiss Wall.
