A Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 9:00 AM this morning across portions of the Delmarva region, with visibility dropping to a quarter mile or less in some areas.
The National Weather Service office in Mount Holly issued the advisory at 6:20 AM, warning drivers of potentially hazardous conditions during the morning commute. The dense fog is impacting northern Delaware, including New Castle County, as well as parts of southeastern Pennsylvania and central New Jersey.
Specific areas under the advisory include Delaware County, Chester County (both eastern and western portions), Montgomery County, Bucks County, Philadelphia, and several New Jersey counties including Salem, Gloucester, and Camden.
Motorists are urged to exercise extreme caution if travel is necessary. The Weather Service recommends slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Visibility of just one quarter mile can make it difficult to see other vehicles, traffic signals, and road hazards until you’re dangerously close.
Conditions are expected to improve as the morning progresses, with the advisory set to expire at 9:00 AM. Commuters should allow extra time for travel and consider delaying non-essential trips until visibility improves.
