Tires are the obvious first guess. The ones in the pic look OK, but your post tells me otherwise. I'm no tire guru but there are plenty here. Are they down to the wear marks - those little tracks that go from left to right?
The next thought: When it doesn't rain much in your area the road has time to accumulate dirt and oil from all the vehicles that use the road. The most dangerous time to drive in the rain is when it first starts raining because all the road crap becomes a viscous slippery layer before it has time to wash away.
I imagine you've had the steering and suspension checked while you had it in the shop recently. These AWD cars react and track differently in a skid than front or rear wheel drive. It can take time to get used to. Maybe find a large dirt or gravel lot and increase your experience with the AWD system. Have fun.
Or, speaking as a dad, slow down!
