A Dense Fog Advisory is now in effect for much of the Delmarva region, with visibility dropping to less than one mile across coastal Delaware and southern New Jersey areas.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 1:08 PM today, warning that hazardous driving conditions will persist from 6 PM this evening through 10 AM Thursday morning.
Affected areas include Delaware’s beaches, inland Sussex County, and several New Jersey counties including Atlantic, Cape May, Ocean, and parts of Monmouth and Burlington counties.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” meteorologists warn, as dense fog blankets the coastal region.
Drivers are urged to take extra precautions during the advisory period. The Weather Service recommends slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining plenty of distance between vehicles. Even familiar routes can become dangerous when visibility drops significantly.
The fog advisory is expected to lift by 10 AM Thursday as atmospheric conditions change. However, motorists should remain vigilant during the morning commute, as patchy fog may linger in some areas.
Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates and traffic conditions throughout the evening and Thursday morning.
