you could break the top layer of soil up to help it dry quicker. if you had some kind of long needle you could attach to a bicycle pump. maybe a thin pipe taped to a basketball needle and shove that in the dirt at a 45 degree angle and pump air into the ground below your plant. move spots every couple pumps and make sure the soil is tight around the pipe to not get air to come back the same direction. gl if the sun isn't out then you might be in trouble

poking as many holes as you can will also help open up the surface area for drying especially deeper towards the roots. no bigger than pen sized holes. gl

hold the pot in air so water could get out, shake bit (not too much) to help water go away faster.

then hold pots on paper towels and squeeze or change papers when theyre wet. it will help them get dry faster.

I assume they are in the ground not in pot? If they are small seedlings with a small root system you can try to dig them out and put them in little pots to help dry them. thats if the soil isnt too mushy of course, just an idea.

i would plant some more just in case but if you can manage to for some oxygen dowm to the roots you should be fine. W/ some form of pump.
