Dense Fog Advisory: Visibility Drops to Quarter-Mile Along Delaware Beaches and South Jersey Coast

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

A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect for Delaware’s coastal areas and several South Jersey counties through 10 AM Tuesday morning, creating potentially dangerous driving conditions with visibility dropping to just one-quarter to one-half mile. The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 7:33 PM Monday evening, warning residents 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 significantly reducing visibility across the region, making morning commutes particularly hazardous. Drivers are urged to slow down, use headlights even during daylight hours, and maintain extra distance between vehicles. “Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service, emphasizing the importance of adjusting driving habits for these conditions. The advisory is expected to lift by 10 AM Tuesday as atmospheric conditions improve. Until then, residents should allow extra travel time and consider delaying non-essential trips if visibility becomes too poor.
