It sounds like an ignition problem. Try cranking at night and then watch for a spark leak and get the ignition coil packs and wires checked out?

It seems like you getting water some were in the ingition

get a multimeter if you have one and check the coil pack wires resistance and compare them to the specs for the car . also you may want to check the gap on the spark plugs and check to see if they need to be changed. That may also cause a no start condition when wet..
