All Wet 
Going badly in the mil.? AWOL
French noodles? TETES [it’s good if you know French* --- may be trouble if you know Spanish]
Theme: types of rain in last words of random phrases
Phenomenon described by the ends of [phrases]… RAIN [neat that the theme summary is the last word of the puzzle and that the rain gets successively harder]
I get the feeling we should steel ourselves for a tough week considering the difficulty of this Tuesday opus:
MOHS crossing both
YEHUDI and
CRESC which abut
PYRRHIC doing the same
EBRO crossing
ATRIcrossed by
HAI 
Not wild about
DRONEBEE and
CAKESPRINKLES since we usually don’t see these combinations; we see
drone without
bee and
sprinkles without
cake.
RATING:
Three grins = Excellent: Loved it; Two grins = Good: Enjoyed it; One grin = Satisfactory: A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Unsatisfying: No fun
