Interior condensation, WTF?

I drove home from DC last night in heavy rain throughout most of the trip. I go out to my car this morning and there is condensation on my windshield on the inside??? It's toward the bottom in the center. Is this normal or do I have an interior leak somewhere? All my windows and sunroof were closed, doors and trunk were also closed. This is the first time that this has happened so I'm not sure what to think. Thanks for any input.

Are you talking condensation as in actual water droplets, or just a fogging of some kind?

Actual water droplets, like morning dew. It's weird.

Were you using the defroster setting during the trip? It could be moisture left over from having that on for a long time and possibly a tempature change between DC and NJ.

You may be right. I had the defroster/feet vent setting on the whole time.
