A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect across the entire Delmarva Peninsula until 10 PM tonight, creating hazardous driving conditions with visibility dropping to just a quarter mile or less in some areas.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 4:04 PM, affecting all of Delaware including New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties, as well as the Delaware beaches. On Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Talbot, Caroline, and parts of Somerset counties are under the advisory.
The thick fog has also spread into portions of New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania, creating a widespread weather event across the mid-Atlantic region.
Drivers are urged to exercise extreme caution during the evening commute. Weather officials recommend slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Even familiar routes can become dangerous when visibility is severely limited.
The fog is expected to gradually lift this evening, with conditions improving after 10 PM. However, patchy fog could linger in some low-lying areas overnight.
