The US 'flag code' is part of federal law, but it is simply an advisory code. There are no penalties for disobeying it, and in fact such penalties would probably be a violation of First Amendment rights.

Therefore flying the flag in the rain may violate the code, it is not a violation that you will go to jail for.
