I'm wondering whether I should bring my plants inside if it's just light rain or wait until it really starts pouring. What's the best approach for hardening them off with rain in the forecast?

I think light rain is fine; it toughens them up a bit! I left my tomatoes out in similar conditions, and I believe they'll be okay in light rain. They need to adapt to real weather before going in the ground anyway.
I usually leave my plants out unless it's a heavy downpour. A bit of rain can actually help with hardening them off, but you don't want them to get too soaked.
Exactly! A light sprinkle can be beneficial, just keep an eye on the weather.
