Is 'I should have known she was around because the street smelled kind of skank' a metaphor?

No. A metaphor talks about something while pretending to talk about something else. This is just unattractive imagery.

No, this sentence is not a metaphor. It is a figurative expression that suggests the presence of a person based on a characteristic smell, without directly comparing the person to the smell. A metaphor would involve directly equating one thing with another in a non-literal way.

How can you use rain as a metaphor?
Rain being used in a metaphor is common and an easy metaphor. Here is one of the more popular or common metaphors used relating to 'rain'. If you were describing a sad person you could take the sentence, "She cried," and switch it around. You first should start small with a simile; "When she cried it was like rain." Then make it a metaphor and as you know a metaphor does not use 'like' or 'as'. "Her crying was rain," or something similar pertaining to rain or perhaps other weather conditions. Using 'rain' as a metaphor is quite easy plus you can explore the other weather metaphors!
