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 hazardous conditions to persist until 10:00 AM today. The thick fog is impacting portions of central and southern Delaware, including Kent County, Sussex County, and Delaware’s beaches, along with parts of the Eastern Shore of Maryland and southern New Jersey.
Drivers are experiencing significantly reduced visibility on major roadways throughout the region. Caroline County in Maryland, along with Salem, Gloucester, Camden, and Burlington counties in New Jersey are also seeing dangerous driving conditions.
Weather officials strongly urge motorists to take extra precautions if travel is necessary. Drivers should slow down, turn on headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles. Avoid using high beams, which can reflect off the fog and further reduce visibility.
The fog is expected to gradually lift as morning temperatures rise and winds increase. Commuters should allow extra time for their morning drive and consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve later this morning.
