A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect across northern Delaware and surrounding areas until 9:00 AM this morning, creating hazardous driving conditions with visibility reduced to just a quarter mile or less.
The National Weather Service in Mount Holly issued the advisory at 6:20 AM, warning drivers to exercise extreme caution during the morning commute. The dense fog is impacting New Castle County in Delaware, along with portions of southeastern Pennsylvania and central New Jersey, including Philadelphia, Camden, Gloucester, and Salem counties.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” according to the weather service warning. Motorists are strongly advised to slow down, use headlights, and maintain plenty of distance between vehicles.
The fog advisory is expected to lift by 9:00 AM as temperatures rise and atmospheric conditions improve. However, drivers should remain alert for lingering patches of fog, particularly in low-lying areas and near waterways.
For those traveling this morning, consider delaying non-essential trips until visibility improves. If you must drive, remember to use low-beam headlights rather than high beams, which can reflect off the fog and further reduce visibility.
