Narrative:

When climbing out in thunderstorms and heavy rain I heard a noise hitting the fuselage on the captain's side. Initially I thought it was the heavy rain. I asked the first officer if he heard it or knew what it was. He then informed me it could be the standby pitot cover which he may have forgotten. We then check all the instruments normal; and determined the flight could safely continue. On landing the post flight revealed the standby pitot cover was still on. The other pitot tube covers where left at the gate. This incident could have been avoided with actual verification during the acceptance checklist instead of rote responses. With the weather closing in on the airport we were in a rush to get going.
