Dense Fog Advisory in Effect for Delaware Beaches, South Jersey Coast Through Tuesday Morning

Dense fog is reducing visibility to one-quarter mile across Delaware beaches and southern New Jersey coastal areas, prompting a weather advisory through Tuesday morning.

A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect for Delaware’s beaches and several coastal counties in southern New Jersey until 10:00 AM Tuesday morning, creating potentially hazardous driving conditions across the region. The National Weather Service in Mount Holly issued the advisory Monday evening, warning that visibility has dropped to just one-quarter to one-half mile in dense fog. The advisory affects Delaware Beaches County along with Eastern Monmouth, Cape May, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, and Coastal Ocean counties in New Jersey. Motorists traveling through these areas should exercise extreme caution during the morning commute. The significantly reduced visibility could make driving conditions dangerous, particularly on coastal roadways and bridges. If you must drive, the National Weather Service recommends slowing down, using your headlights, and maintaining plenty of distance between vehicles. Consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve. The fog advisory is expected to lift by 10:00 AM Tuesday as temperatures warm and atmospheric conditions change. Drivers should continue monitoring local conditions and weather updates throughout the morning. This is a developing weather story.
