## Discrepancy

IN CRUISE AT ALT OF 32000 THE CAP'S AIRSPEED FAILED & STARTED TO DECREASE FROM 234 KTS TO A LOW OF 150 KTS.  AT 150 KTS THE AIRSPEED CLIMBS RAPIDLY BACK TO NORMAL.  WE HAD STARTED A DECENT TO 24'000 WHEN THE AIRSPEED RETURNED TO NORMAL.  THE ACFT HAD RECENTLY CLIMBED THOUGH MODERATE RAIN & CLOUDS AFTER AIRSPEED RETURNED TO NORMAL. CONTINUED TO WORK NORMALLY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FLIGHT.  DRAINED WATER FROM PITOT SYS & PERFORMED OPERATIONS CHECK & LEAK CHECK IAW AMM 34-13-00.  OPERATIONS CHECKED GOOD.  ACFT IS COMPLIANT FOR CONTINUED CAT II OPERATION.
