Say you have two rooms seperated by a sealed off door with no way for air to travel between the two rooms. One room is set to 34 degrees and the other set to 95 degrees. When you open the door will it start to rain? If not what would happen?

There will be an initial rush of air between the two rooms and the temperature will balance out. There may be condensation in the air for a very short amount of time, but I would not expect rain. This is likely because your moisture source is limited to what you have in those two rooms. This would make a good science project!
A primitive model can be made with a well insolated bathroom that is warmed by running hot water or filling a tub with hot water during a winter's night. Keep the rest of the house cold by not running the heater. Open the door and see what happens. It's not perfect, but that part of science and learning how things work. Maybe someone can come up with a better model.

If the 95 degree room contains the same amount of water vapor as the 35 degree room no change is expected except the raising of the temperature of one room and cooling of the other. However if the 95 degree room is saturated with water vapor , there is the possibiltiy of condensing water vapor on mixing of the air of the two rooms .

UALog You can't be for real,surely? Mate, I reckon you would need a serious "outdoor" type event involving troughs and fronts.....Do all New Yorkers live indoors?
Get some kind of handle on how weather works,at best you may get major condensation.... that's ALL!!!!
