Atmospherics indicate that it was also quite humid (vapour trail of bullet) so that would also slow the bullet slighty, yes?
No, the opposite actually, but humidity has the least impact of the environmental factors. Humid air has less density than dry air and thus exerts slightly less drag on the bullet.
humid air is apparently less dense than dry air, at least that is why I have heard is the reason homeruns are easier to hit when it is warm and humid, but perhaps it is just the air density vs temperature, with cooler air being more dense, regardless of humidity.
