Ram Air hood questions

Hey all,
So I just bought a ram air hood and was not expecting the inlets to actually be open on the inside.
I am pleasantly surprised by this.
I am going to be putting in a carbed 350 in.
My question is this, How do I keep the function of the air flow coming in but prevent water from flying in as I am driving in the rain. Not going to happen by choice or often but Id prefer to not wash my engine down

Any thoughts on how to keep the function of the openings but also protect from water?

As I recall the 4th gen nostril hood had baffles to deflect the water down to drain.
