Get the battery tested just to be sure. It's free! But alternator is a good bet.

Bad ground.... trace the heavy black wire from the negative terminal on the battery to where it's bolted to the frame and make sure nothing is loose or broken.

If your humidity has been creeping up while the temps drop, you could have a condensation problem too. Had that in my old car in the fall all the time.
Good luck.
And get a new car. Seriously.
