Drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula and surrounding areas are being urged to exercise extreme caution this evening as dense fog continues to create hazardous travel conditions with visibility dropping to just one quarter mile or less.
The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory affecting all of Delaware, including New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties, as well as the Delaware beaches. The advisory also covers portions of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, including Queen Anne’s, Talbot, Caroline, and Somerset counties.
The thick fog blanket extends beyond our immediate viewing area into parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania, creating widespread visibility issues across the mid-Atlantic region.
Motorists are strongly advised to reduce speed, turn on headlights, and maintain extra following distance while driving in these conditions. The fog is expected to create particularly dangerous situations on highways and rural roads where visibility can change rapidly.
The Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 10 PM tonight. Weather officials expect conditions to gradually improve as we head into the overnight hours.
Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates and drive safely if you must travel this evening.
