Drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula are facing hazardous conditions this morning as dense fog blankets the region, reducing visibility to less than one mile in many areas.
The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory affecting New Castle County in Delaware, along with portions of southern New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania. The advisory remains in effect until 7:00 AM EDT.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the weather service, urging motorists to exercise extreme caution during the morning commute.
Locally, the advisory impacts New Castle County and extends into neighboring areas of South Jersey, including Salem, Gloucester, Camden, Cumberland, Atlantic, and Cape May counties. Parts of southeastern Pennsylvania, including the Philadelphia metro area, are also experiencing similar conditions.
If you must drive this morning, officials recommend slowing down, using your headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Consider delaying non-essential travel until visibility improves.
The fog is expected to gradually lift as temperatures rise with the morning sun. Conditions should improve significantly by mid-morning, with the advisory set to expire at 7:00 AM. Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates throughout your morning.
