If you didn't use a flush before changing to synthetic, then the synthetic is acting to clean out old deposits.
The Oxidation and Nitration can go to 100%, so I wouldn't be very alarmed about that.
I suspect that if the car were run hard for about 1/2 hour or so, all that water would be driven out of the oil. Just a few minutes of driving may get the water up to temp, but not get the oil really hot enough.

I'd go ahead and drive it another 1-2,000 miles, then change it.
