The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory for the entire Delmarva Peninsula and surrounding areas, warning of dangerous driving conditions through 10 PM tonight.
Visibility has dropped to one quarter mile or less across portions of Delaware, the Eastern Shore of Maryland, southern New Jersey, and southeastern Pennsylvania. The thick fog is creating hazardous travel conditions on local roads and highways.
Locally, the advisory affects all of Delaware including New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties, along with the Delaware beaches. On Maryland’s Eastern Shore, Kent, Queen Anne’s, Talbot, Caroline, and Sussex counties are under the advisory. The fog is also impacting portions of southern New Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania.
Drivers are urged to exercise extreme caution if they must travel. The National Weather Service recommends slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Consider delaying non-essential travel until visibility improves.
The Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 10 PM this evening. Conditions should gradually improve as we move through the evening hours.
