A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect for Delaware’s beaches and southern New Jersey coastal areas through 10 a.m. Tuesday morning, creating hazardous driving conditions with visibility dropping to just one-quarter to one-half mile.
The National Weather Service in Mount Holly 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 creating dangerous travel conditions along coastal highways and beach communities throughout the region. Motorists are experiencing severely limited visibility, making it difficult to see other vehicles, road signs, and traffic signals.
Authorities urge drivers to exercise extreme caution if travel is necessary. Reduce your speed significantly, turn on your headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles. Consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve.
The fog advisory is expected to lift by mid-morning Tuesday as temperatures warm and winds increase, helping to clear the dense conditions.
