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

Dense fog is reducing visibility to a quarter mile along Delaware beaches and the South Jersey coast through Tuesday morning, prompting safety warnings for drivers.

Drivers along the Delmarva coast should exercise extreme caution tonight and Tuesday morning as dense fog blankets the region, reducing visibility to just a quarter to half mile in some areas. The National Weather Service issued a Dense Fog Advisory at 7:33 PM Monday for Delaware’s beach communities and several South Jersey coastal counties, including Eastern Monmouth, Cape May, Atlantic Coastal Cape May, Coastal Atlantic, and Coastal Ocean. The advisory remains in effect until 10:00 AM Tuesday. The thick fog is creating hazardous driving conditions across popular coastal routes, with visibility severely limited throughout the overnight hours and early Tuesday morning commute. Authorities urge motorists to slow down significantly, use headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles when traveling through affected areas. If visibility becomes too poor, drivers should consider pulling over safely and waiting for conditions to improve. The fog is expected to gradually lift Tuesday morning as temperatures rise and atmospheric conditions change. Commuters should allow extra travel time and stay updated on current conditions. This is a developing weather situation. TV Delmarva will continue monitoring conditions and provide updates as the fog advisory remains in effect through mid-morning Tuesday.
