Dense fog blanketed the region that includes the Greater Red Bank Green early Wednesday and will linger through the morning commute, according to the National Weather Service.
Roadway visibility will be less than a quarter-mile in places, so “slow down… use your headlights…and leave plenty of distance ahead of you,” the NWS says in an advisory.
Meanwhile, meteorologists and public safety officials are monitoring Hurricane Florence, which is expected to pound the Carolinas and Virginia in coming days, though the impact on New Jersey is now expected to be limited, NJ.com reports.
