A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for Delaware’s beaches and several South Jersey counties until 10 AM Tuesday morning, with visibility dropping to just one-quarter to one-half mile in some areas.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 7:33 PM Monday evening, warning residents in Delaware’s coastal areas and New Jersey’s Eastern Monmouth, Cape May, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, and Coastal Ocean counties to exercise extreme caution while traveling.
The thick fog is creating hazardous driving conditions throughout the region, significantly reducing visibility on major roadways and local streets. Motorists are strongly advised to slow down, use headlights, and maintain extra following distance between vehicles.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” the Weather Service warns. Drivers should also consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve.
The fog is expected to gradually lift Tuesday morning, with the advisory set to expire at 10 AM. However, patchy fog may persist in some areas even after the official advisory ends.
Residents should stay alert for changing conditions and monitor local weather updates throughout the night and early morning hours.
