Default hesitation and backfire after rain

Lately it seems like when I start the car after it has rained (car is parked outdoors) it hesitates a little before starting. The car never has and never does have a problem starting, but it seems to hesitate just a little when cranking after rain. Also when it does start, it occasionally backfires.

Car is a 99 TA. Should I be concerned? Any help would be appreciated.

sounds like moisture getting in some where, you could use a squirt bottle of water and check all wire connections.
