Drivers along the Delaware coast and southern New Jersey should prepare for hazardous travel conditions Tuesday morning as dense fog blankets the region.
The National Weather Service issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective until 10 AM Tuesday, warning of visibility reduced to just one-quarter to one-half mile in some areas. The advisory covers Delaware’s coastal communities and extends into eastern Monmouth, Cape May, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, and Coastal Ocean counties in New Jersey.
Motorists planning early morning commutes or beach travel should allow extra time and exercise extreme caution. Weather officials strongly advise drivers to reduce speed, use headlights, and maintain increased following distances.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” according to the weather service alert issued at 7:33 PM Monday evening.
The fog is expected to gradually lift as temperatures warm throughout Tuesday morning, with conditions improving by mid-morning. However, drivers should remain vigilant as fog can be patchy and unpredictable.
