Drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula should prepare for dangerous travel conditions as dense fog is expected to blanket the region starting this evening.
The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective from 6 PM tonight through 10 AM Thursday morning. Visibility will drop to less than one mile in many areas, creating hazardous driving conditions for the Thursday morning commute.
The advisory covers Delaware’s beaches and inland Sussex County, along with portions of southern New Jersey including Atlantic, Cape May, Ocean, and Monmouth counties. Coastal areas are expected to see the most significant impacts.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service. Officials urge drivers to slow down, use headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles if travel is necessary.
The fog is expected to be most dense overnight and during early morning hours Thursday. Commuters should allow extra time for their morning drive and consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve.
The Dense Fog Advisory expires at 10 AM Thursday morning. TV Delmarva will continue monitoring conditions and provide updates as the weather situation develops.
