A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect across southern Delaware and parts of New Jersey until noon today, creating hazardous driving conditions with visibility reduced to just a quarter mile or less.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 9:48 AM, warning residents in inland Sussex County, Delaware beaches, and several New Jersey counties including Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May areas. The thick fog is significantly impacting morning commutes and travel throughout the region.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” according to the weather service alert. Officials are urging drivers to take extra precautions if they must travel during these conditions.
If you’re driving in the fog, remember these critical safety tips: slow down immediately, turn on your headlights, and maintain plenty of distance between your vehicle and others on the road. Avoid using high beams, as they can actually reduce visibility in fog.
The advisory is expected to expire at noon as atmospheric conditions improve. However, drivers should continue to use caution and adjust their speed according to visibility conditions.
