A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect across much of the Delmarva Peninsula this morning, with visibility dropping to just a quarter mile or less in some areas.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 1:10 AM and it will remain in effect until 10:00 AM today. The thick fog is impacting driving conditions across Kent and Sussex counties in Delaware, including the Delaware beaches, as well as parts of the Eastern Shore including Caroline County in Maryland.
The advisory also extends into southern New Jersey, affecting Salem, Gloucester, Camden, and Burlington counties, along with Ocean, Cumberland, Atlantic, and Cape May counties, including coastal areas.
Motorists are urged to exercise extreme caution during the morning commute. If you must drive, the National Weather Service recommends slowing down, using your headlights, and leaving plenty of distance between you and the vehicle ahead.
Visibility could remain severely limited through the early morning hours, making driving conditions particularly hazardous on highways and rural roads throughout the region.
The fog is expected to gradually lift as temperatures warm later this morning. Commuters should allow extra travel time and consider delaying non-essential trips until conditions improve.
