Narrative:

The captain flew a coupled ILS approach to runway 11 at orh. At dead heading we were IMC, no visibility contact with runway environment so we executed a missed approach. The reported RVR was 6000' and we had ground contact earlier on our approach, so we executed another approach. On this one, visibility contact with the runway was made at minimums in moderate rain. T/D was made at 1000' on centerline with a possible slight crab. After T/D the aircraft veered left and seemed to drift farther left. The captain seemed to be doing all he could, but the aircraft left the runway for 1000', then got it back on. We inspected this runway later and there was a lot of standing water on the runway, 1/4-1/2'. Tower was closed at the time of incident. And up-to-date wind and rain and standing water report might have helped.

Title: LOSS OF ACFT CONTROL DUE TO WIND AND WATER ON RWY. RWY EXCURSION.

Narrative: THE CAPT FLEW A COUPLED ILS APCH TO RWY 11 AT ORH. AT DEAD HDG WE WERE IMC, NO VIS CONTACT WITH RWY ENVIRONMENT SO WE EXECUTED A MISSED APCH. THE RPTED RVR WAS 6000' AND WE HAD GND CONTACT EARLIER ON OUR APCH, SO WE EXECUTED ANOTHER APCH. ON THIS ONE, VIS CONTACT WITH THE RWY WAS MADE AT MINIMUMS IN MODERATE RAIN. T/D WAS MADE AT 1000' ON CENTERLINE WITH A POSSIBLE SLIGHT CRAB. AFTER T/D THE ACFT VEERED LEFT AND SEEMED TO DRIFT FARTHER LEFT. THE CAPT SEEMED TO BE DOING ALL HE COULD, BUT THE ACFT LEFT THE RWY FOR 1000', THEN GOT IT BACK ON. WE INSPECTED THIS RWY LATER AND THERE WAS A LOT OF STANDING WATER ON THE RWY, 1/4-1/2'. TWR WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT. AND UP-TO-DATE WIND AND RAIN AND STANDING WATER RPT MIGHT HAVE HELPED.
