Most likely micro slipping. Slips wear the skin more than rips.

I'm going to have to say its from the rain and cold + six hours of throwing.

Rain and cold can easily lead to early slips let alone micro slips. Six hours is plenty to show results

Is there anything to focus on to stop this from happening?

If you know where your rip point is, wrap some medical tape around it. I wouldn't wrap your whole finger because you need the mobility. Keeping your disc dry and hand dry would help a lot, although I did everything i could to keep both dry.

Squeezing harder with the index and thumb. In the beginning the skin may not be used to the added pressure so you'll feel the hurt literally. Doing that and persevering with it has the benefits of building up skin thickness and toughness, increasing pinch power adding distance and causing rips instead of micro slips. Reducing abrasion of the skin. Training finger strength also helps. This needs to start only after the rip blister and the skin is fully healed. Or you'll rehurt it and will never get it to going better.

I think I'm just going to get used to wrapping my finger with medical tape.
