It's likely condensation on the outside of the glass. This occurs more often in other parts of the country where the atmospheric humidity is higher on a normal basis. A writer on Edmunds, which is located in California, made a blog post about this phenomena a couple of years ago. This struck some of the blog's readers to wonder what made this a big deal. Apparently, due to the climate, people in California usually don't encounter temperature differentials (the inside of the vehicle versus the outside atmosphere) which involve higher atmospheric humidity levels.
This is condensation being formed on the outside of the glass. The cold air inside the vehicle is cooling down the glass. The outside air is hot and humid. When the hot and humid air comes in contact with the cold glass, it causes the water vapor (gas) in the air to cool to water (liquid).

This is normal condensation in high himidity areas... like here is Humi.. err, Houston. We get days when it's 100 degrees and a pop up shower hits you.. the steam rises up from the hot pavement.. 100% humidity after the cloud passes and the windows will fog up.
I thought most cars just don't blow A/C on the windshields for this very reason. I guess I have lots to learn about a Lexus
