That is what it sounds like.. It is getting condensation in the fuel
in the mornings when it is damp.
Once the engine warms up and gets going down the road I am fine.. So
it seems I must find out how condensation is getting into my fuel.
Thanks!

Condensation in the gas doesn't go away when the engine warms up. It
happens from running on empty all the time.
Your distributor cap and rotor are the 'most' likely problem with a bad
plug wire next.
To check the spark plug wires for leaks, I open the hood in the dark and
spray mist the wires with water when the engine is running. If your
wires are bad, you will see sparks.

Re: 97 TJ Engine Skipping Chugging When Damp
I'd bet Ign. wires.
Wait til its dark and damp, start it up with the hood open and watch
the lightshow.
If no lightshow, pop the distributor cap and look for a hairline crack
in it. WD40 can displace moisture in a pinch. So can Either with
EXPLOSIVE results if not let to dry and dissapate.
