Commuters across the Delmarva Peninsula should prepare for hazardous driving conditions Tuesday morning as the National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory affecting much of our viewing area.
The advisory takes effect at 2 AM Tuesday and remains in place until 10 AM, with visibility dropping to just one-quarter to one-half mile in dense fog conditions.
Locally, New Castle, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Caroline, and several other counties throughout northern Delaware and the Eastern Shore of Maryland are under the advisory. The fog will also impact portions of southern New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service Mount Holly office, which issued the advisory Monday evening.
Drivers are strongly urged to take extra precautions during the Tuesday morning commute. Safety officials recommend slowing down, using headlights even during daylight hours, and maintaining extra following distance between vehicles.
The fog is expected to gradually lift and dissipate by mid-morning as temperatures warm and winds increase. Motorists should allow extra travel time and consider delaying non-essential trips until visibility improves.
