Re: weatherproof covers

406.8 of the NEC specify this requirement.

Part A states that damp locations require a cover that is weatherproof when the receptacle is not in use.

Part B states that wet locations require a cover that is weatherproof even when the receptacle is being used.

Per the definition in Article 100, your examples would be a damp location. :)
