Default What to do in (and after...) it rains...

Hi all! Still got my new Kat 6 sunny side up! (Woohoo!)

Here's my situation:
I live in an apartment.
The bike won't fit through the front door.
I don't have covered or carport parking.
It's supposed to rain on Friday.
Texas rain sucks.

Here's some questions:
Will rain hurt the bike much? I know I should invest in a cover...
Do I need to do any extra maintenance right after it rains?
(I've heard a lot about having to re-grease the chain after
a rain... ? )

I do NOT plan on riding in the rain, since I live close enough to work
to walk. Just interested in what I should do to keep my new baby shiny!
Thanks for all the input!
