Delmarva residents should prepare for hazardous driving conditions Tuesday morning as the National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory affecting much of our region.
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, the advisory covers New Castle and Kent counties in Delaware, along with Queen Anne’s and Caroline counties on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The fog will also impact areas of southeastern Pennsylvania, central and southern New Jersey.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service Mount Holly office, which issued the alert Monday evening.
Drivers are strongly urged to take extra precautions during the Tuesday morning commute. Weather officials recommend slowing down, using headlights even during daylight hours, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles.
The dense fog is expected to gradually lift by mid-morning Tuesday as temperatures rise and atmospheric conditions change.
Commuters should allow extra travel time and consider delaying non-essential trips until visibility improves. Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates throughout the night and Tuesday morning.
