When saturated air is warmed, its capacity to hold water vapor increases. This means it is able to take up more water vapor, which results in an increase in absolute humidity. However, the relative humidity decreases since the increase in water vapor content is not enough to maintain the air at saturation. Condensation does not occur unless the air is cooled. Snowfall is unrelated to warming saturated air.
