My mechanic suspects water in the fuel or carburetor icing.

Has anybody had this kind of performance due to moisture?
No. Moisture can cause misfiring, but not what I think you are describing. Carb icing in the Bay area, I think not.

Once upon a time when driving in really damp conditions my car would have a random missfire. Turned out to be a crack in my rotor.

If it were me, the first thing I would do is put a timing light on it and verify the ignition.
