A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect for Delaware’s coastal areas and several South Jersey counties until 10 AM Tuesday morning, creating hazardous driving conditions with visibility dropping to just one-quarter to one-half mile.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory Monday evening, warning residents in Delaware Beaches along with Eastern Monmouth, Cape May, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, and Coastal Ocean counties in New Jersey to exercise extreme caution while traveling.
The thick fog is significantly reducing visibility across the region, making driving particularly dangerous during the overnight hours and Tuesday morning commute. Motorists should expect slower traffic and potential delays on major roadways including Route 1, Route 9, and the Garden State Parkway.
Safety officials urge drivers to slow down, use headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles. If visibility becomes too poor, pull over safely and wait for conditions to improve.
The fog is expected to gradually lift Tuesday morning as temperatures rise. The advisory is set to expire at 10 AM, though patchy fog may linger in some areas through mid-morning.
