New cap and rotor, possibly plug wires. Moisture is probably creating a shorter path to ground than going through your plugs. The cap/rotor would be the best place to start, and not too expensive. You might try running the engine at night (in the dark) and watching for arcing on your cap and wires. Hope this helps.
