A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect for coastal Delaware and southern New Jersey from 6 PM tonight through 10 AM Thursday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
Visibility will drop to less than one mile across the Delaware beaches, inland Sussex County, and several New Jersey counties including Ocean, Atlantic, Cape May, and parts of Monmouth and Burlington counties.
The dense fog is expected to create hazardous driving conditions during both the evening and morning commutes. Motorists should exercise extreme caution on roadways, especially along coastal routes and bridges.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service. Officials recommend drivers slow down significantly, use headlights even during daylight hours, and maintain extra following distance between vehicles.
The fog advisory takes effect at 6 PM this evening and will remain in place until 10 AM Thursday. Conditions are expected to gradually improve throughout Thursday morning as temperatures rise and winds increase.
Drivers planning to travel along Route 1, Route 404, or any coastal roadways should allow extra time for their commute and consider delaying non-essential travel until visibility improves. Stay tuned to TV Delmarva for continued weather updates.
