What happened to me was that the brushes on the voltage regulator in the alternator wore down below their service limit. When I was driving with the wipers, headlights, battery etc on, the alternator wasn't able to keep up and it died the same way, in the midst of a rainstorm.
It's also possible that the ground wire from the alternator is frayed and doesn't conduct well enough to keep the battery charged under load.
Here's a link to Dave New's page on alternator brushes replacement
