I think it is possible to have 100% humidity and no rain. Isn't the air in a cloud (not a rain cloud) saturated with water vapor, and how about small bubbles of air in water? Paul might say something like "A rain drop must be massive enough to overcome the kinetic energy of Brownian motion which tends to keep particles in suspension. though it's more complicated than that."
