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

Dense fog reducing visibility to a quarter mile prompts advisory for Delaware beaches and New Jersey coastal areas until Tuesday morning.

A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for Delaware’s beaches and several New Jersey coastal counties until 10 AM Tuesday morning, creating potentially hazardous driving conditions with visibility dropping to just a quarter to half mile. The National Weather Service issued the advisory Monday evening at 7:33 PM, warning residents and visitors in Delaware Beaches, along with Eastern Monmouth, Cape May, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, and Coastal Ocean counties in New Jersey to exercise extreme caution on the roads. The thick fog is expected to significantly reduce visibility overnight and into Tuesday morning’s commute, making driving dangerous across the coastal Delmarva region. Motorists should plan for extra travel time and take necessary precautions. If you must drive during the advisory period, the National Weather Service recommends slowing down, using your headlights, and maintaining plenty of distance between you and other vehicles. Consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve. The Dense Fog Advisory will remain in effect until 10 AM Tuesday morning. Drivers should monitor local conditions and weather updates before heading out. TV Delmarva will continue tracking this developing weather situation and provide updates as conditions change.
