i don't think 50% is high. i tend to run my incubator at about 50% up until hatch time when i raise it to 60-65%. And your temps seem fine too. 100.7 isn't too high. You don't want it much over that. But 99-100 is about normal on a forced air.

i wouldn't open the incubator, but if you can adjust the temp, i would turn it down very slightly and wait for it to lower. As for your humidity, you can open one of the vents. But as long as it doesn't go over 50%, i think you're fine.

Well I always run dry but at day 1 the most important thing is stable conditions. The humidity will be ok just dont add more water until necessary. Aim for a temp off 99.5 in a forced air machine but make only tiny adjustments and leave for an hour to stablise. Dont keep tweaking the thermostat.

Oh and try to relax
