Pitot static test results vary wildly when it's humid, noticed it Tuesday

Ran a full pitot static check on a King Air at KSDL last week and the leak rates were way off from the morning readings. Same aircraft, same equipment, just a 60% humidity jump after noon. Anyone else see this kind of drift or is it just my test set acting up?

Whoa, wait. A 60% jump in one afternoon at KSDL? That's a massive swing, I've never seen it shift that fast in the desert. That would mess with any test set, not just yours.
