Default battery guage dips while driving in rain...

Just as the title says is the only time I have this issue. The alt. and battery is good (checked at autozone). I even drove thru the rain one time without the defrost on, no lights on, even stopped the windshield wipers for a few seconds and the battery meter still dipped to the left, causing the "Check Guages" light to come on, then its goes back to normal after a few seconds...But from what I noticed it only happens when I hit a puddle! So what could be the possible issue, a ground wire maybe???

My guess something is getting wet...
Check to make sure your spark plug boots are on tight every where and you have dielectric grease used.
Make sure opti is secure and not getting wet too.
