Drivers across coastal Delmarva should prepare for hazardous conditions tonight as the National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective from 6 PM this evening through 10 AM Thursday morning.
Visibility is expected to drop to less than one mile throughout the affected areas, creating dangerous driving conditions. The advisory covers Delaware’s beaches and inland Sussex County, along with portions of southern New Jersey including Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties.
The thick fog will begin forming this evening and persist through the overnight hours before gradually lifting Thursday morning. Meteorologists warn that the reduced visibility could make routine travel treacherous, particularly during the evening commute and early Thursday morning.
Drivers are strongly urged to take extra precautions if travel is necessary. The National Weather Service recommends slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining increased following distance. Consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve.
The Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 10 AM Thursday morning. Motorists should check local traffic reports and allow extra time for travel. Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates throughout the evening.
