A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for much of the Delmarva Peninsula and surrounding areas from 2 AM to 10 AM Tuesday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Visibility could drop to just one-quarter to one-half mile in dense fog, creating potentially dangerous driving conditions during the morning commute. The advisory covers New Castle and Kent counties in Delaware, Queen Anne’s and Caroline counties on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, plus portions of southeastern Pennsylvania and central New Jersey.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service Mount Holly office, which issued the advisory Monday evening.
Drivers are urged to take extra precautions if they must travel during the advisory period. Officials recommend slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining plenty of distance between vehicles. Allow extra time for your commute and consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve.
The fog is expected to gradually lift and dissipate by mid-morning as temperatures rise and winds increase. The Dense Fog Advisory expires at 10 AM Tuesday, though localized areas of reduced visibility may persist slightly longer in low-lying areas near waterways.
