Hazardous Dense and Freezing Fog



Ideal conditions are in existence tonight across the Raritan and Delaware Valleys for fog formation. Temperatures are also below freezing in many areas. Some of the fog is dense in nature and as a result, we are getting some areas of freezing fog. Actual observation sites in Trenton and in Millville are reporting freezing fog. This kind of fog is very hazardous as it leaves a thin coating of ice on untreated surfaces. In Millville, the temperature dropped to 27 degrees. Elsewhere, temperatures are around the range of 30 to 32 degrees.

The coating of snow that also fell this afternoon and this evening has left roadways very moist. Use caution if traveling across the Garden State overnight into Saturday Morning. This is the type of situation which can lead to multiple-vehicle accidents.
