A Dense Fog Advisory is now in effect for Delaware’s beaches and coastal areas of southern New Jersey, with visibility dropping to less than one mile starting at 6 PM tonight through 10 AM Thursday morning.
The National Weather Service in Mount Holly issued the advisory at 1:08 PM, warning residents and travelers that hazardous driving conditions are expected across the region. Areas under the advisory include inland Sussex County, Delaware beaches, and multiple counties in southern New Jersey including Atlantic, Ocean, Cape May, and parts of Burlington and Monmouth counties.
The thick fog is expected to significantly impact the Wednesday evening commute and Thursday morning travel, creating potentially dangerous conditions on roadways throughout the coastal Delmarva region.
Drivers are strongly urged to reduce speeds, turn on headlights, and maintain extra following distance when traveling during the advisory period. Officials recommend avoiding unnecessary travel during peak fog hours if possible.
The Dense Fog Advisory will remain in effect until 10 AM Thursday morning. Motorists should continue monitoring weather conditions and exercise extreme caution on all roadways, particularly along coastal routes and bridge crossings where fog tends to be most concentrated.
