It may have been that the rain knocked off the blooms or washed out the pollen. I've found using calcium nitrate as the first fertilizer when blooms start to appear really helps the plants keep the fruit set.
With as much rain as we typically get, it's hard to prevent the splitting. Outside of picking them a little early, there's not any real solutions.

Probably. Seemed to have plenty of flowers, but not a lot of fruit. I usually add bone meal when they start flowering. I’ll try some calcium nitrate this year. Although I’m not growing Cherokees this year.
