A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for Delaware’s beaches and parts of southern New Jersey until 10 AM Tuesday morning, creating hazardous travel conditions across the coastal Delmarva region.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 7:33 PM Monday evening, warning of visibility dropping to just one-quarter to one-half mile in dense fog. The advisory affects Delaware’s coastal areas and extends into Eastern Monmouth, Cape May, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, and Coastal Ocean counties in New Jersey.
Motorists are experiencing significantly reduced visibility on major roadways, particularly along coastal routes including Route 1 and Route 9. The fog is expected to persist through the overnight hours and into Tuesday morning’s commute.
Drivers are urged to exercise extreme caution by slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Officials recommend avoiding non-essential travel if possible during peak fog hours.
The advisory remains in effect until 10 AM Tuesday, though conditions may begin improving earlier in some inland areas. Commuters should allow extra travel time and stay updated on changing conditions. The fog is typical for this time of year when warm, moist air moves over cooler coastal waters.
