Drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula should prepare for hazardous travel conditions as dense fog is expected to blanket the region tonight through Thursday morning.
The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective from 6 PM this evening until 10 AM Thursday for much of coastal Delaware and southern New Jersey. Visibility could drop to less than one mile, creating dangerous driving conditions during both the evening and morning commutes.
Locally, the advisory covers inland Sussex County and Delaware’s beaches. In New Jersey, affected areas include Western and Eastern Monmouth counties, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties, along with their coastal regions, plus southeastern Burlington County.
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. Consider delaying non-essential travel until visibility improves.
The fog is expected to gradually lift Thursday morning as temperatures rise and winds increase. Commuters should plan for extra travel time and stay alert for rapidly changing visibility conditions.
TV Delmarva will continue monitoring this situation and provide updates as conditions change. Check our weather app for the latest visibility reports in your area.
