A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect for Delaware’s beaches and several South Jersey coastal counties until 10 AM Tuesday morning, creating potentially 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 roadways particularly dangerous for drivers. Motorists are urged to slow down, use their headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles when navigating through the affected areas.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” the National Weather Service warned in their advisory.
For those who must travel during overnight hours and Tuesday morning’s commute, officials strongly recommend allowing extra time to reach destinations safely. Consider delaying non-essential travel until the fog lifts.
The advisory is expected to expire at 10 AM Tuesday morning as atmospheric conditions improve and visibility returns to normal levels across the Delmarva region.
