A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect across the Delmarva Peninsula and surrounding areas until 10 PM tonight, with visibility dropping to just one quarter mile or less in some locations.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 4:04 PM, warning residents that hazardous driving conditions are expected throughout the evening hours. Locally, the advisory covers all of Delaware including New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties, as well as the Delaware beaches. In Maryland, the Eastern Shore counties of Kent, Queen Anne’s, Talbot, Caroline, and Somerset are also under the advisory.
The thick fog is creating dangerous travel conditions across the region, particularly on highways and rural roads where visibility can change rapidly.
Drivers are urged to exercise extreme caution if they must travel tonight. The National Weather Service recommends slowing down significantly, using headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve.
The fog is expected to gradually lift and dissipate by late evening, with the advisory set to expire at 10 PM. Motorists should continue monitoring local conditions and drive according to visibility, as fog can be patchy and unpredictable.
Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates throughout the evening.
