77Batteries mostly fail gradually, but not always. 'Cause it worked yesterday does not guarantee it hasn't failed...

Get an assistant to turn the key while you have the head under the hood to listen for the solenoid?

If you've got a voltmeter (otherwise a small 12V bulb can do) keep that on the battery terminals while trying to start to check that the voltage doesn't collapse. If it collapses -> battery
If it doesn't and no solenoid click -> fault probably somewhere 'upstream'
If it doesn't and solenoid clicks -> I'd suspect the starter.

Could be water having gotten somewhere, probably somewhere in what I call 'upstream', somehow preventing the signal to get to the solenoid. But the listen and monitor battery voltage is a quick, easy, and cheap way to eliminate some variables.

Another quick test: If you've got starter cables and could get the use of another car for a few minutes you could also eliminate the battery as a suspect that way.
Starts with 2nd battery hooked up? -> your battery. Doesn't start? -> fault very likely elsewhere than battery.
