A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for the Delaware beaches and several South Jersey coastal counties until 10:00 AM Tuesday morning, creating potentially hazardous driving conditions across the region.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory Monday evening, warning that visibility could drop to just one-quarter to one-half mile in the dense fog. The advisory affects Delaware’s coastal areas and several New Jersey counties, including Eastern Monmouth, Cape May, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, and Coastal Ocean counties.
Motorists traveling through these areas should exercise extreme caution during the overnight hours and Tuesday morning commute. The significantly reduced visibility could make driving conditions dangerous, particularly on coastal highways and bridges.
If you must drive in these conditions, the National Weather Service recommends slowing down, using your headlights, and leaving plenty of distance between your vehicle and others on the road. Consider delaying non-essential travel until visibility improves.
The fog is expected to gradually lift Tuesday morning, with the advisory set to expire at 10:00 AM. Commuters should allow extra time for their Tuesday morning travel and stay updated on current conditions before heading out.
