Weather conditions are continuously monitored leading up to a shuttle launch. If rain is present during launch time, it may be due to natural weather patterns in the area and not specifically because the shuttle is going up. Launches are often postponed if weather conditions are not favorable to ensure the safety of the crew and equipment.

What makes a space shuttle go up?
At launch the Shuttle (orbiter) is attached to two rockets -- the long white tubes on the sides are called solid rocket boosters (SRBs). Also, the big orange tank the Shuttle sits on at launch is a full of liquid fuel. At launch the SRBs ignite/start and the shuttle's main engine begins burning the liquid fuel. These three engines push the shuttle up into orbit. If you are asking how a rocket engine works. If you put an object beside a bomb, when the bomb goes off it knocks/pushes the object away. If you put a firecracker under an empty tin can, the firecracker will knock the can up into the air (see link below). You can think of a rocket engine as creating many continuous explosions that push it.
How fast can a space shuttle go?
A space shuttle can reach speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour (28,164 kilometers per hour) when in orbit around the Earth. This velocity allows the shuttle to overcome the gravitational pull of the Earth and remain in a stable orbit around the planet.
Why do space shuttles heat up when they re-enter into the earths atmosphere?
When the shuttle goes from the vacuum of space and enters the earths atmosphere, it heats up because of simple friction. The friction is from the shuttle going so fast and hitting the atmosphere. Same reason you sometimes see meteor showers.
Every time space shuttle goes up you have tornado?
