We only see dew in the morning because of the way dew forms. For dew to

form, air must be cooled to its condensation point. There must be little

movement to the air or it will remain mixed and not form dew, but will form

fog instead. (Fog is formed in other ways as well). These conditions usually

occur overnight, when the winds die down, and the air becomes still.

Radiational cooling from the ground or structures near the surface, such as

automobiles, mailboxes, etc. cools the air in contact with the ground or

structures. The humidity in the air condenses into droplets of moisture we

call dew.

After sunrise, the ground begins warm up and usually the wind increases.

Both these events warm the air and evaporate the dew.

The dew on the grass in the morning is the result of condensation water vapor in the cool morning air falling and settling on the grass and leaves of the plants.

Why no dew on the grass this morning?

If there is no dew on the grass in the morning, it means that it did not get cold enough to condense the water vapor in the air. The dew point, the temperature at which dew forms, depends on the humidity: if it is very humid, dew will form at a relatively warm temperature, but if it is very dry, dew will not form until it gets quite chilly.
