Jeremiah,
This happens all the time for my DX coils. Generally it?s a small overshoot. My guess is that it?s essentially a psychrometric calculation rounding error.

Subject: [EnergyPlus_Support] Humidity out of range [1 Attachment]
Dear List-
For some reason humidity is going over 100% in my models, does anyone have any ideas as to why? (ideally I want to stop the warning, but if I can not then I must be able to explain why it is happening)
Many thanks for any suggestions
