A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect for Delaware beaches and parts of southern New Jersey until 10:00 AM Tuesday morning, creating hazardous driving conditions along the coast.
The National Weather Service in Mount Holly issued the advisory Monday evening, warning residents that visibility could drop to just one-quarter to one-half mile in the thick fog. The advisory affects Delaware’s coastal areas and extends into Eastern Monmouth, Cape May, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, and Coastal Ocean counties in New Jersey.
Drivers are urged to exercise extreme caution during the morning commute Tuesday. If you must travel, the National Weather Service recommends slowing down, using your headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Low visibility makes driving conditions particularly dangerous on coastal highways and bridges.
The dense fog developed Monday evening as atmospheric conditions created the perfect recipe for reduced visibility along the shoreline. Commuters should allow extra time for travel and consider alternate routes if possible.
The fog advisory is expected to lift by mid-morning Tuesday as conditions improve. Stay with TV Delmarva for the latest weather updates and traffic conditions throughout your morning commute.
