Waiting out bad weather keeps you alive. Pushing on no matter what gets people killed or injured. Bad weather above tree line is not to be triffid with. People get seriously hurt and die in these mountains every year. Plus like tdoczi says, it sucks.
If it's raining, it's usually very windy above tree line which compounds the problem. Nothing like 40 degree rain hitting you sideways at up to 50 mph for hours while trying to stay upright on those slippery, seemingly randomly placed rocks we call a trail, all the while trying to spot the next carion so you know which way to go. If you head out into those conditions, you best have the smarts to turn around before you go too far into it to turn around. There aren't many options to get out of bad weather once your into it and all those options are bad.
Early summer storms tend to move through pretty fast, so waiting out a rainy day isn't too big a deal. It's prudent. With any luck, it will come through at night. There are daily forecasts for the ridges from the Mt Washington obs, it's worth paying attention to them. That can help you plan for where you want to be for the next few days. And more importantly, where you don't want to be.
Be smart, be safe and enjoy.
You don't want to be here when it's raining.
