Default '03 Element has trouble running/starting in rain

My 2003 Honda Element has trouble running/starting when it rains. I just changed the alternator (twice in the past 1 1/2 years) and the battery & starter are only a year old. Could it be spark plugs or something simple that I can replace? Please help -- I need my vehicle running so that I can make it to school (I'm a teacher).

How much rain? Like a light sprinkle or a downpour? It is possible that water is getting into the intake and causing what you describe. Also, more info would be super helpful, like what noises it makes and how it runs.

With the limited info provided, I'm thinking it's time for coil boots
