As jruppert said, check the cap and wires. The cap will get light film of dirt, and this seems to collect moisture, causing arcing, thus a misfire.

When plug wires get some age on them, the insulation absorbs moisture, again causing a misfire.

Dirt on the porcelain of the plugs get dirty and allows an arc, thus a misfire, especially when wet weather occurs.
