A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect for Delaware’s coastal areas and parts of southern New Jersey until 10 AM Tuesday morning, creating hazardous driving conditions across the region.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory Monday evening, warning of dense fog reducing visibility to just one-quarter to one-half mile. The advisory affects Delaware Beaches along with Eastern Monmouth, Cape May, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, and Coastal Ocean counties in New Jersey.
The thick fog is expected to persist through the overnight hours and into Tuesday morning’s commute, potentially creating dangerous conditions for drivers heading to work or school.
Officials are urging motorists to exercise extreme caution if they must travel during the advisory period. Drivers should reduce their speed significantly, use low-beam headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles. High-beam headlights should be avoided as they can reflect off the fog and actually reduce visibility further.
The fog advisory is scheduled to expire at 10 AM Tuesday, though conditions may begin improving earlier in some areas as morning temperatures rise.
TV Delmarva will continue monitoring conditions and provide updates as weather circumstances change throughout the night and into Tuesday morning.
