A Dense Fog Advisory is now in effect for coastal areas of Delmarva, with visibility expected to drop to less than one mile starting this evening. The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 1:08 PM today, warning residents and travelers of hazardous driving conditions from 6 PM tonight through 10 AM Thursday morning.
The advisory covers Delaware’s beaches and inland Sussex County, creating potentially dangerous travel conditions during the evening commute and early morning hours. Motorists should expect significantly reduced visibility that could make normal driving speeds unsafe.
Officials are urging drivers to take extra precautions if they must travel during the advisory period. “Slow down, use your headlights, and leave plenty of distance ahead of you,” advises the National Weather Service. Even familiar routes can become treacherous when visibility drops below one mile.
The dense fog is expected to gradually lift Thursday morning, with conditions improving by 10 AM. Commuters should plan for extra travel time and consider delaying non-essential trips until visibility improves.
