A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect across much of the Delmarva Peninsula tonight through Tuesday morning, with visibility dropping to just one quarter mile or less in some areas.
The advisory begins at midnight tonight and continues until 10:00 AM Tuesday morning, affecting Kent and Inland Sussex Counties in Delaware, Talbot County in Maryland, and parts of southern New Jersey including Western Monmouth, Atlantic, Cumberland, Ocean, and Southeastern Burlington Counties.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 7:33 PM Monday evening, warning that the thick fog will create hazardous driving conditions during the overnight hours and Tuesday morning commute.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” officials warned in the advisory.
Drivers are urged to take extra precautions if they must travel during the advisory period. The National Weather Service recommends slowing down, using headlights, and leaving plenty of distance between vehicles.
Commuters should plan for additional travel time Tuesday morning as visibility conditions could significantly impact traffic flow on major roadways throughout the region.
The fog is expected to gradually lift Tuesday morning, with conditions improving by 10:00 AM. Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates throughout your Tuesday morning commute.
