The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for Delaware’s coastal areas and much of South Jersey, warning drivers of potentially dangerous conditions through Tuesday morning.
Visibility has dropped to just one-quarter to one-half mile in dense fog across Delaware Beaches, along with Eastern Monmouth, Cape May, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, and Coastal Ocean counties in New Jersey. The advisory remains in effect until 10 AM Tuesday.
Motorists are urged to exercise extreme caution during the morning commute, as the thick fog creates hazardous driving conditions throughout the region. “Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service.
If you must travel, officials recommend slowing down, using your headlights, and maintaining plenty of distance between vehicles. Consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve.
The fog is expected to gradually lift as temperatures rise Tuesday morning. Weather officials will continue monitoring conditions and will cancel the advisory once visibility improves to safe levels.
