So a local spike in precipitation releases a lot of heat — but as the heat increases, this negatively affects the vapor - > water transition (precipitation, or raindrop formation), since warm air holds more water then cool air — and so the limit on precipitation vis - a-vis the radiative balance of the atmosphere appears.
Warm air holds more moisture than cool air, so the heaviest precipitation events could become heavier as air temperatures tick upward.

That's all very interesting, but the new alarmism is that warm air holds more moisture, giving the required water vapor feedbacks in order to make the world scary hot, instead of the piddling little lukewarm, of a non feedback, co2 stand alone warming.
Warm air holds more water vapor than cold air does, so the air is more humid than a few years ago.
(A third of summer sea ice in the Arctic is gone, the oceans are 30 percent more acidic, and since warm air holds more water vapor than cold, the atmosphere over the oceans is a shocking five percent wetter, loading the dice for devastating floods.)
First, warm air holds more water vapor than cold air — and the rising air temperatures since the 1970s have caused the atmospheric water vapor content to rise as well.

Not exact matches

Increasing heat is also warming up the ocean, and hotter air holds onto more moisture, increasing the available energy for hurricanes.

Warmer air can hold more water vapour that is eventually rained out, and warmer water holds more energy for a hurricane to draw its powerWarmer air can hold more water vapour that is eventually rained out, and warmer water holds more energy for a hurricane to draw its powerwarmer water holds more energy for a hurricane to draw its power from.
By analyzing global water vapor and temperature satellite data for the lower atmosphere, Texas A&M University atmospheric scientist Andrew Dessler and his colleagues found that warming driven by carbon dioxide and other gases allowed the air to hold more moisture, increasing the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
«Simple physics tells us that warmer air can hold more water vapour.
The observed fact that temperatures increases slower over the oceans than over land demonstrates that the large heat capacity of the ocean tries to hold back the warming of the air over the ocean and produces a delay at the surface but nevertheless the atmosphere responds quit rapidly to increasing greenhouse gases.
Water undergoes a change of state from gas to liquid under these conditions, because cooler air can hold less water vapour than warmer air.
After all, warmer air can hold more water, and some research suggests global warming could increase California's average rain and snowfall.

In addition, it was already known via the Clausius - Clapeyron relation, that warmer air can hold more water vapour: the amount is about 7 % more per degree Celsius of warming.
Higher temperatures lead to more evaporation from lakes, rivers and oceans, and warmer air can hold more moisture.
The warming due to water vapor helps the air hold water, but in the Earth's orbit, it is not actually sufficient to keep the air warm enough to keep the water it already has — so you go into the death spiral, with a bit of cooling, less water, then more cooling, and so on to Snowball.
