Good news for early morning commuters – the National Weather Service has cancelled the Dense Fog Advisory that was affecting parts of Delaware and South Jersey.
The advisory, which expired at 5:30 AM, had been in effect for several areas including inland Sussex County, Delaware beaches, and multiple counties in South Jersey including Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties.
Visibility conditions have improved significantly across the region, allowing the weather service to lift the advisory earlier than initially expected. The fog had reduced visibility to less than a quarter mile in some areas during the overnight hours.
While the advisory has been cancelled, drivers should still exercise caution during early morning hours when fog can develop quickly, especially near coastal areas and inland waterways. When encountering any remaining patches of fog, remember to slow down, use low-beam headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles.
The improved visibility means normal travel conditions have returned to the Delmarva Peninsula and South Jersey coastal regions. Stay with TV Delmarva for continued weather updates throughout the day, and remember to allow extra time for your morning commute as conditions can change rapidly during this time of year.
