There is a specified way to install OSB on both floors and walls. OSB
can handle being exposed to some pretty harsh weather. I'm a framer in
Utah, and we get tons of snow and rain on the benches.. We've chipped
away icebergs from our floors and still not have a squeak. The only
time you really need to worry about your OSB is when it is sitting ON
the ground. or soaking IN a puddle, but as far as having rain hitting
it, that's not a problem. if you have puddles in your floor, then your
framers should be kicked, but just smack a hole in it with your hammer
and it'll drain. Since it's engineered wood, you wouldn't need to
worry about your little hole ruining the stuctural stability..

You can drape a million dollars worth of tarps over it.
Or do a reverse rain dance.
I'll be going through the same thing next week.
It rains like 4 mf around here and right now my truck is stuck in about a
foot of pure mud where the driveway used to be.
This is all new stuff to me.
Onward.
