Tomatoes Wilting

About two weeks ago I bought some tomato plants at Lowes and got them transplanted into the garden. For the first three or 4 days the weather was crappy, cold and rainy but the tomatoes did awesome grew about an inch and a half to two inches and looked great. Now that the weather is turning nice, upper seventies to low eighties my tomatoes look like crap. The are wilting really bad and look like they are one shade away from death. I don't get it, I thought tomatoes wanted it warm and sunny not cold and rainy? We have had ALOT of rain so I know they aren't dying of thirst. My pepper plants however are doing great so I don't think it is a mix issue, is it?

I am considering going and buying the fertilizer stakes you can get at walmart and putting them at the base of each plant to see if that will perk them up, it just doesn't make sense to me.
