Drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula and southern New Jersey should prepare for hazardous conditions tonight as the National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory affecting our region.
The advisory goes into effect at 6 PM today and remains in place until 10 AM Thursday morning. Visibility is expected to drop to less than one mile in dense fog across coastal Delaware, including our beaches in Sussex County, and extends into several New Jersey counties including Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May.
Motorists planning to travel this evening or early Thursday morning should exercise extreme caution. The National Weather Service recommends slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. These conditions could make your commute significantly more dangerous, particularly on coastal highways and beach routes.
The dense fog is expected to be most problematic overnight and during the early morning hours Thursday. Conditions should begin improving by mid-morning as temperatures rise.
TV Delmarva will continue monitoring this weather situation and will provide updates as conditions change. For the latest weather information, stay tuned to TV Delmarva and check our website.
