Drivers along the Delaware and South Jersey coastlines should exercise extreme caution Tuesday morning as dense fog blankets the region, reducing visibility to just one-quarter to one-half mile.
The National Weather Service issued a Dense Fog Advisory Monday evening that remains in effect until 10 AM Tuesday for 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 creating hazardous driving conditions across the coastal corridor, prompting weather officials to urge motorists to take extra precautions during the Tuesday morning commute.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” the Weather Service warns. Officials recommend drivers slow down significantly, use headlights even during daylight hours, and maintain extra distance between vehicles.
The fog advisory is expected to lift by mid-morning Tuesday as atmospheric conditions improve. However, drivers should remain alert for patchy fog that could linger in some areas.
Commuters traveling along Route 1, coastal highways, and beach access roads should allow extra time for their Tuesday morning travels and consider delaying non-essential trips until visibility improves.
