Good news for morning commuters across the Delmarva region – the National Weather Service has cancelled the Dense Fog Advisory that was affecting visibility conditions earlier today.
The advisory, which impacted Delaware beaches including Rehoboth and Bethany, inland Sussex County, and several South Jersey counties including Atlantic, Ocean, Cape May, and parts of Monmouth and Burlington counties, was officially lifted at 5:15 AM.
Dense fog had been reducing visibility to less than a quarter mile in many areas, creating hazardous driving conditions during the early morning hours. The fog was particularly thick along coastal areas and inland waterways.
While the advisory has been cancelled, drivers should remain cautious as patchy fog may still linger in some low-lying areas. Meteorologists recommend using low-beam headlights, reducing speed, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles when visibility is reduced.
The improved conditions come as temperatures begin to rise and winds help disperse the remaining fog. Commuters heading out this morning should see much clearer conditions compared to earlier, though isolated patches of fog could still develop near waterways.
