Brakes feel crazy soft during rain

OP's car see a lot of miles, 130k+ miles for sure, when was the last time brake fluid was changed?

Bought the car with 105k miles on it and swapped all fluids out, I'm at 133k. Feel like some fresh fluid is needed. I'm doing that this weekend, I'll let y'all know. Also Ima change out the brake pads

As others have said, wet brakes do not increase pedal travel. You will have to press harder on the pedal but travel should stay the same. Sounds like you have air trapped somewhere.
