Motorists across the Delmarva Peninsula should prepare for treacherous driving conditions tonight as the National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective from 10 PM tonight through 10 AM Wednesday morning.
Visibility will drop dramatically to just one-quarter to one-half mile in dense fog, creating hazardous conditions for drivers throughout the region. The advisory covers all of Delaware, including New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties, as well as the Delaware beaches.
On Maryland’s Eastern Shore, affected areas include Kent, Queen Anne’s, Talbot, Caroline, and Sussex counties. The fog will also impact portions of southeastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service Mount Holly office, which issued the advisory at 1:15 PM today.
Drivers are strongly urged to take extra precautions if travel is necessary. Slow down significantly, use your headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles. Consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve.
The Dense Fog Advisory will remain in effect until 10 AM Wednesday morning. Stay tuned to TV Delmarva for continued weather updates and traffic conditions throughout the night.
