A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect for Delaware’s beaches and much of the New Jersey coast until 10 AM Tuesday morning, creating potentially dangerous travel conditions across the region.
The National Weather Service reports visibility has dropped to just one-quarter to one-half mile in dense fog affecting Delaware Beaches, along with Eastern Monmouth, Cape May, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, and Coastal Ocean counties in New Jersey.
Motorists are urged to exercise extreme caution during their Tuesday morning commute, as the thick fog could make driving treacherous along coastal highways and local roads. Weather officials stress that drivers should slow down significantly, use their headlights even during daylight hours, and maintain extra distance between vehicles.
The fog advisory, issued Monday evening at 7:33 PM, is expected to lift by mid-morning Tuesday as temperatures warm and atmospheric conditions improve.
Residents planning early morning travel should allow extra time for their commute and consider delaying non-essential trips until visibility improves. Local emergency officials remind drivers that if visibility becomes extremely limited, the safest option is to pull over at a safe location and wait for conditions to clear.
