A Dense Fog Advisory is now in effect for much of the Delmarva Peninsula and southern New Jersey, with visibility dropping to less than one mile in many areas.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory this afternoon, warning that hazardous driving conditions will persist from 6 PM tonight through 10 AM Thursday morning. The dense fog is expected to significantly impact the morning commute.
Areas under the advisory include Delaware’s beaches and inland Sussex County, as well as multiple counties in southern New Jersey including Atlantic, Cape May, Ocean, and portions of Burlington and Monmouth counties.
Motorists are urged to exercise extreme caution during the advisory period. The National Weather Service recommends drivers slow down, use headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles. Even familiar routes can become dangerous when visibility is severely reduced.
The fog is expected to be most dense during overnight hours and early Thursday morning. Commuters should plan for extra travel time and consider delaying non-essential trips if possible.
The Dense Fog Advisory will remain in effect until 10 AM Thursday. Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates and traffic conditions throughout the evening and tomorrow morning.
