Narrative:
During takeoff roll at approximately 100 KTS, an aural slat warning came on along with the slat disagreement light. I aborted the takeoff without incident. After clearing the runway, the #1 radio, the PA, and the flight attendant call system were all inoperative. The aircraft was taken OTS by maintenance, and they informed me that the east&east compartment appeared to be very moist and that was probably the source of our radio and PA problems. The aircraft sat out all night in a heavy rain storm. I have yet to be informed of the source of the problem with the slats.
