A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect for coastal areas of the Delmarva Peninsula through 10 AM Tuesday morning, creating hazardous driving conditions with visibility reduced to just one-quarter to one-half mile.
The National Weather Service advisory affects Delaware’s coastal beaches and several New Jersey counties, including Eastern Monmouth, Cape May, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, and Coastal Ocean areas.
Drivers in the affected regions should exercise extreme caution during the morning commute. The thick fog has already begun settling across the coastline and is expected to persist overnight into early Tuesday.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service. Officials urge motorists to slow down significantly, use headlights even during daylight hours, and maintain extra distance between vehicles.
The fog advisory, issued at 7:33 PM Monday evening, is expected to lift by mid-morning Tuesday as temperatures rise and winds increase.
Residents planning early morning travel should allow extra time for their commute and consider delaying non-essential trips until visibility improves. Coastal areas are particularly susceptible to these dense fog conditions during this time of year due to temperature differences between land and ocean waters.
