Anytime rain is likely to be involved, I like to have:

Lightweight gloves
Winter gloves
Rain covers

I have never found gloves to be waterproof. So I wear lightweight 
gloves first. If it gets colder I switch to the winter gloves. If it 
is light rain, I use the winter gloves. Heavy rain, I use the 
lightweight gloves and the rain covers. Heavy cold rain, I use the 
winter gloves and the rain covers. That is really last resort because 
by then you've lost most of your finger dexterity, and you probably 
shouldn't be out on the bike anyways. But eventually in a heavy rain 
your gloves will become wet, so it's nice to have a backup pair to 
wear while the others are drying out.
