A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for Delaware’s beaches and coastal areas of New Jersey until 10 AM Tuesday morning, creating potentially hazardous driving conditions with visibility dropping to just a quarter to half mile.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 7:33 PM Monday evening, warning residents and travelers that thick fog will blanket the region overnight and into Tuesday morning’s commute. Delaware Beaches are included in the advisory, along with Eastern Monmouth, Cape May, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, and Coastal Ocean counties in New Jersey.
Motorists should exercise extreme caution during the fog event. Weather officials strongly advise drivers to slow down, use headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles. The dramatically reduced visibility could make normal driving speeds dangerous.
The fog is expected to gradually lift as temperatures warm Tuesday morning, with conditions improving by mid-morning. Commuters should plan for extra travel time and consider delaying non-essential trips until visibility improves.
Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates throughout the night and Tuesday morning. We’ll monitor conditions and alert you when the advisory is lifted.
