Are you using a fender well CAI? I have had mine suck in water and die during heavy rain (water pooling up on the same said as the filter). Maybe you're seeing something similar?

When is the last time you changed plugs and ignition wires? Older spark plugs can have higher resistance. Failing ignition wires can short out causing misfiring. These conditions can be worse in the high moisture times like rain. Excessive moisture in the air can make the misfires of these faulty parts happen more frequently.
