A Dense Fog Advisory is now in effect for much of the Delmarva region, 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 that dense fog will blanket coastal Delaware and southern New Jersey from 6 PM tonight through 10 AM Thursday morning. Areas under the advisory include inland Sussex County, Delaware beaches, and multiple counties across southern New Jersey including Atlantic, Ocean, Cape May, and parts of Burlington and Monmouth counties.
The thick fog will create hazardous driving conditions during both the evening and morning commutes. Motorists should expect significantly reduced visibility that could make travel dangerous on highways and local roads throughout the affected areas.
If you must drive during the advisory period, officials strongly recommend slowing down, using your headlights, and leaving extra distance between your vehicle and others on the road. The low visibility conditions could lead to accidents if drivers don’t adjust their driving habits accordingly.
The Dense Fog Advisory is set to expire at 10 AM Thursday morning. Drivers should continue monitoring weather conditions and plan for extra travel time during their morning commute.
