Wet Basement

Thank you for everyones advice. These forums make building so much easier. We are building a home in Upstate NY. They are just starting to put the roof trusses on at this point. The basement slab hasn't been poured yet. Its been very wet lately. I've noticed the basement is soaked. No pools of water but lots of areas of wetness on the cement foundation blocks and on the gravel floor. Obviously since we are still wide open a lot of this is just rain coming through from above. But some areas seem to be along walls that are covered well. Could this be seeping from the ground around the house? Is it too early to start to get worried that my basement might flood once complete? Am I just being paranoid and it will dry up once I have a roof and windows and insulation? Thanks.
