Cut out the old caulk now to let it all dry out, that will open everything up to the maximum to allow for drying. If it is an older home it will still dry after it is caulked. One day to dry and one day to caulk and let it set will suffice for proper adhesion. I suspect if the house is over 10 years old, it will not be an issue. It will still dry out.
