Drivers across the Delmarva region should prepare for challenging travel conditions as the National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory beginning at 6 PM tonight through 10 AM Thursday morning.
The advisory covers coastal Delaware including Sussex County and Delaware beaches, as well as portions of southern New Jersey including Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties. Visibility is expected to drop to less than one mile in dense fog, creating potentially hazardous driving conditions.
“This fog will significantly impact the evening and morning commutes,” meteorologists warn. The poor visibility conditions could make travel dangerous, particularly on major roadways throughout the affected areas.
If you must drive during the advisory period, officials strongly recommend slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. The reduced visibility requires increased caution and extended travel times.
The Dense Fog Advisory was issued this afternoon at 1:08 PM by the National Weather Service Mount Holly office and remains in effect until 10 AM Thursday. Commuters should monitor conditions closely and consider delaying non-essential travel during peak fog hours.
Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates throughout the evening and tomorrow morning’s commute.
