Dense Fog Advisory: Dangerous Driving Conditions Expected Across Delmarva Beaches Through Tuesday Morning

Dense fog reducing visibility to as low as one-quarter mile will create dangerous driving conditions across Delaware beaches and southern New Jersey until Tuesday morning.

A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for Delaware’s beaches and parts of southern New Jersey until 10 AM Tuesday morning, creating potentially hazardous driving conditions for the morning commute. The National Weather Service issued the advisory Monday evening, warning that visibility could drop to just one-quarter to one-half mile in dense fog overnight and into Tuesday morning. Across Delmarva, Delaware Beaches are under the advisory. In New Jersey, the warning covers Eastern Monmouth County, Cape May County, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, and Coastal Ocean counties. Motorists should exercise extreme caution if traveling through these areas. The National Weather Service recommends slowing down, using headlights, and leaving extra distance between vehicles. The dramatically reduced visibility could make normal driving speeds dangerous. The fog advisory remains in effect until 10 AM EDT Tuesday, though conditions may begin improving earlier in some areas as the morning sun helps burn off the moisture. Commuters planning to travel through affected areas Tuesday morning should allow extra time for their journey and consider delaying non-essential travel until visibility improves.
