Generally, the air temperature of a descending air mass will increase. This is due to the incredible mount of pressure placed on it. Generally, the air mass will also experience an increase in humidity.
Air temperature rises because the air compresses and warms adiabatically (simply because pressure increases). But no moisture is being added or removed from the air, so the dew point and absolute/specific humidity do not change. What changes is relative humidity, which lowers, due to the warmer air being able to hold more moisture.
Edited-- Okay, the whole 'more condensation' theory doesn't make much sense, 'cause if that was the case, there'd also be more evaporation cause of all the rivers blablah. Well, since the air gets warmer as it descends (due to more atmospheric pressure), the relative humidity decreases, which causes it to *feel* drier...
It makes sense if you think of it as two beakers: A small one (representing cold/higher air, which can hold less water vapor) and a big one (representing warm/lower air, which can hold more water vapor). Let's say the small one can hold up to 100mL of water, and it's filled up to 90mL of water- This, representing the cold/higher air, holds almost as much water as it can, so it will feel humid. Now, the big beaker, representing the warm/descending air, can hold up to 500mL of water, but since it's still the same air as the cold/higher air, it still only holds 90mL of water. This would cause the air to *feel* dry, because it's ABLE to hold up to 500mL, but only holds 90mL. ...Note: My original theory was that there'd be more condensation occurring, since there's more mass to condense on at the surface (which would make the air lose water vapor, obviously). :P
because it likes to have fun touching its self
Moisture tends to expand and rise as it is heated. As the air mass cools, it becomes denser and moves away from the moisture in the upper atmosphere as it falls.
A descending mass of air will have its temperature increase because of the pressure exerted on it. Because its temperature increases it will also be able to hold more water and feel drier.

Some of the factors affecting the mass of the air are:- temperature, altitude (pressure), gaseous composition (including water vapour), and its velocity (the PV=k). The densest air is probably that descending over the South Pole in winter, because of its low temperature, lack of water vapour, and at the surface, the air pressure at that altitude.

If pressure remains constant, then volume is directly proportional to temperature. Hot air is quite loud.
Air formed in places where the temperature is warm.
The temperature of air is decreased.
The temperature of air is decreased.
