According to the local forecast my area is high risk

Definately the alternator belt. It's surprising the amount of drag the generator creates when charging the battery and you have the heater/wipers/lights all switched on.
As a temporary measure you can tighten it up but I would recommend a new belt if the surface of the belt is below the pulley edges or appears worn in any other way.
As for misting up this has been a long standing complaint of mine re the jimny. There is no through flow ventilation in the rear. My old 98 Jimny was terrible and I had hoped my 08 Jimny would solve it with the air con but not quite.
It helps a lot of course but the rear window and rear side windows still mist up.
