A Dense Fog Advisory is now in effect for much of the Delmarva Peninsula, with visibility dropping to less than one mile in some areas. The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 1:08 PM Tuesday, warning drivers to expect hazardous conditions from 6 PM this evening through 10 AM Thursday morning.
The advisory covers Delaware’s beaches and inland Sussex County, along with coastal areas of southern New Jersey including Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties. Dense fog is expected to significantly reduce visibility, creating dangerous driving conditions during both the evening and morning commutes.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” according to the National Weather Service. Officials are urging drivers to take extra precautions by slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining plenty of distance between vehicles.
The fog is expected to be most problematic along coastal areas where moisture from the Atlantic Ocean combines with current atmospheric conditions. Drivers should allow extra travel time and consider delaying non-essential trips during peak fog hours.
The Dense Fog Advisory will remain in effect until 10 AM Thursday morning. Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates and drive safely.
