I'd be more concerned with finding the source of the condensation or at least solving the problem with a dehumidifier. The table saw surface isn't the only thing that can be adversely effected by condensation.

Just keeping air movig will help. Condensation forms due to the warm moist air hitting the cold saw. Keep the saw the same temp, and no more condensation.
I cover all my big tools with moving blankets and usually leave the window open a crack. This has worked great for me as I haven't gotten any new rust on the covered tools (although I have on some other uncovered tools). It probably also depends on your location -- southern Idaho is pretty dry.
