The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for the entire Delmarva Peninsula, warning of hazardous driving conditions 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 dangerous conditions on roadways across Delaware, the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and southeastern Virginia. The advisory also extends into southern New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania.
Locally, all of Delaware is under the advisory, 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 Sussex counties will experience the dense fog conditions.
“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 remains in effect until 10 AM Wednesday morning. Stay tuned to TV Delmarva for updates on changing conditions throughout the night.
