numéro dos, es correcto grammaticalemente, pero la formula es raro en ingles.
Lo mejor es que tu digas Even though it is raining, I will still go out tonight.

I agree totally with Oliver's explanation. This expression is rather old fashioned and is rarely heard in modern day English. More commonly used connectors would be "however, nevertheless, but, although". I hope this helps!

It's a way to connect two concepts that at first seem like they should not coexist.
For example, in sentence 2, you would think that people will not go out if it's raising. So "be that as it may" connects these two concepts by saying they are happening at the same time, even though it seems they should not.
Another way to say it is "even though", or "regardless".
