If it is going to rain then your lack of skill isn't going to cause it to happen. then it becomes to different things unrelated to you picking the lock (that has been decided already that yes you do). Does it rain? not in any way affected by your lock picking (but maybe due to time). So I could see the rain approaching and you feel drops on your face, make a lock picking roll, If you make the roll you get through the door just before the down pour begins and have slightly damp clothes. Fail and you are caught in the down pour and are drenched (torches go out, supplies are ruined, maybe a light acid effect). The difference then is did you get inside before the rain hit (the rain is still falling irrespective of if you are inside or outside). Rather than if you make your roll you get through the door and it isn't raining but if you fail you get through the door but it starts raining. I know it is subtle and I suspect it is partly dependent on if you see the narrative being the most important force in the game or having a consistent world being more important.</blockquote>
