Wet roads provide about 90% of the traction of dry roads (according to motorcycle research). So, unless your commute like ride the Tour, you are fine. Just watch out for ground that has a funny shine or looks a different color (oil or gas).....
But avoid painted lines, because they can be slick as ice. Also wet leaves. And wet boardwalk. In my own experience I'm much more likely to fall during inclement weather for one reason or another, so my policy is take it easy.
