A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect for Delaware’s beaches and several South Jersey coastal counties through 10 AM Tuesday morning, creating potentially hazardous driving conditions with visibility dropping to just a quarter to half mile.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory Monday evening 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 significantly reducing visibility across the coastal areas, making travel dangerous for morning commuters and anyone venturing out tonight. Drivers should expect challenging conditions on major routes including coastal highways and bridge crossings.
Weather officials are urging extreme caution for anyone who must travel during the advisory period. If you must drive, reduce your speed significantly, turn on your headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles. Avoid using high beams, which can actually reduce visibility in fog.
The fog advisory is expected to lift by mid-morning Tuesday as temperatures warm and atmospheric conditions improve. Commuters should plan for extra travel time and consider delaying non-essential trips until visibility improves.
