Rolling resistance in the rain

Just caught the end of today’s stage of the Giro d’Italia, which was very wet. The calculations for CdA and power in the other profiles require an estimate of rolling resistance. The device could possibly detect actual puddles using the accelerometer & adjust the rolling resistance? But, riding along smooth road it probably can’t tell if the road is wet; should we be adjusting the CRR manually?
I suspect people would want to know the effect of a rain jacket on CdA & I think assuming the rolling resistance is no different would lead to an overestimate of the negative affect. Maybe some roll downs like you could do with the Newton? I don’t know if that is even possible with the aeropod.
