A Dense Fog Advisory is now in effect for much of the Delmarva Peninsula, with visibility dropping to just one quarter mile or less beginning at midnight tonight through 10 AM Tuesday morning.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 7:33 PM, warning that hazardous driving conditions are expected across Kent and Inland Sussex counties in Delaware, Talbot County in Maryland, and portions of southern New Jersey including Western Monmouth, Atlantic, Cumberland, Ocean, and Southeastern Burlington counties.
Motorists should expect significantly reduced visibility during the overnight hours and Tuesday morning commute. The dense fog could make travel treacherous, particularly on rural roads and highways throughout the region.
If you must drive during the advisory period, weather officials urge extreme caution. Reduce your speed considerably, turn on your headlights, and maintain extra distance between your vehicle and others on the road. Consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve.
The fog is expected to gradually lift Tuesday morning, with the advisory set to expire at 10 AM. Commuters should allow extra time for their morning drive and stay alert for changing visibility conditions.
We’ll continue monitoring this situation and provide updates as conditions change throughout the overnight hours.
