A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect across the Delmarva Peninsula until 10 PM tonight, creating hazardous driving conditions with visibility dropping to just one quarter mile or less.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 4:04 PM, warning residents across Delaware, Maryland’s Eastern Shore, and portions of southern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania to exercise extreme caution on the roads.
Locally, the advisory covers all of Delaware including New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties, as well as Delaware’s beaches. On Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Talbot, Caroline, and Dorchester counties are all under the advisory.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” according to the National Weather Service.
If you must travel this evening, officials strongly recommend slowing down, using your headlights, and leaving plenty of distance between you and other vehicles. Even familiar routes can become dangerous in these conditions.
The dense fog is expected to gradually lift as we move through the evening hours, with conditions improving after 10 PM. Motorists should continue monitoring visibility conditions and avoid unnecessary travel until the advisory expires.
Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates throughout the evening.
