Depends on where. Some places are easier to forecast and models agree more frequently and further ahead than they do for other places.
In general though, beyond 2-3 days is a good general rule to consider a forecast not very reliable. For up here in the mountains, beyond 2 days isn't worth planning around. For Houston, 3 days out is usually somewhat reliable in a general sense. No matter where though, if timing and amount of precipitation is what you need, the day before is best of course.
ETA: NWS re-runs models and updates their forecasts multiple times a day, I think every 6 or 8 hrs if I remember right.
