The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for the entire Delmarva Peninsula and surrounding areas, warning of visibility dropping to just one quarter mile or less through 10 PM tonight.
The thick fog is creating hazardous driving conditions across Delaware, Maryland’s Eastern Shore, and southern New Jersey. All three Delaware counties—New Castle, Kent, and Sussex—are under the advisory, along with Eastern Shore counties including Queen Anne’s, Talbot, Caroline, and Somerset in Maryland.
Motorists are experiencing significantly reduced visibility on major roadways, including Interstate 95, Route 50, and coastal highways. The fog is particularly dense near waterways and low-lying areas throughout the region.
Authorities are urging drivers to exercise extreme caution if travel is necessary. Weather officials recommend slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. If visibility becomes too poor, drivers should consider pulling over safely until conditions improve.
The Dense Fog Advisory, issued at 4:04 PM, is expected to lift by 10 PM tonight as atmospheric conditions change. However, patchy fog may persist in some areas through the overnight hours.
