A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect across much of the Delmarva Peninsula this morning, with visibility dropping to just one quarter mile or less in some areas.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 1:10 AM and expects dangerous fog conditions to persist until 10:00 AM today. The thick fog is impacting travel across central and southern Delaware, including Kent County, Sussex County, and the Delaware beaches, as well as portions of the Eastern Shore and southern New Jersey.
Drivers are experiencing severely reduced visibility on major roadways, creating hazardous conditions for the Monday morning commute. The fog is particularly dense in areas including Caroline County, Salem, Gloucester, Camden, Ocean County, Cumberland, Atlantic, and Cape May counties.
Authorities urge motorists to exercise extreme caution if they must travel. The National Weather Service recommends slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining extra following distance between vehicles. If visibility becomes too poor, drivers should consider pulling safely off the roadway and waiting for conditions to improve.
The fog advisory is expected to lift by mid-morning as temperatures rise and atmospheric conditions change. Commuters should allow extra travel time and stay alert for rapidly changing visibility conditions.
