A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for coastal areas of Delmarva through 10 AM Tuesday morning, with visibility dropping to just one-quarter to one-half mile in some areas.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory Monday evening, warning that hazardous driving conditions are expected across Delaware’s beaches and several New Jersey coastal counties including Eastern Monmouth, Cape May, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, and Coastal Ocean.
The thick fog is creating dangerous conditions for morning commuters and anyone traveling along coastal roadways. Meteorologists say the dense fog will persist overnight before gradually lifting Tuesday morning.
If you must drive during the advisory period, officials strongly recommend slowing down significantly, using your headlights even during daylight hours, and maintaining extra distance between your vehicle and others on the road. Consider delaying non-essential travel until visibility improves.
The advisory remains in effect until 10 AM Tuesday, though conditions may begin improving earlier in some inland areas. Drivers should continue monitoring weather conditions and exercise extreme caution when visibility is reduced.
