Advice for this week of rain and fighting overwatering

Hello!

I am a first time gardener. As I am growing in containers due to my living situation (apartment), I posted this same question in Container Gardening http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/contain/msg0717100813540.html

But! You are the tomato experts!

I have 5 plants (Early Girl, Beef-type Staking, Roma, Golden Plum, and a purple Heirloom), and two exhibited signs of overwatering last week (curling leaves). All have set fruit, ranging from 2 on the Beefsteak to 32 on the Roma. Now, it's supposed to rain all this week.

I have moved them underneath my upstairs neighbor's deck, and covered the cages with plastic garbage bags to block as much water as possible.

What else should I do?

Also: I've been reading here for about a week, and learned I need to fertilize. How should I start doing that ASAP when faced with this rain situation?
