Good news for morning commuters across the Delmarva Peninsula – the National Weather Service has cancelled the Dense Fog Advisory that was affecting the region earlier today.
The advisory, which was lifted at 5:15 AM, had been impacting visibility across much of southern Delaware, including Sussex County inland areas and Delaware’s beaches. The fog also affected portions of southern New Jersey, including areas of Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties.
While the official advisory has been cancelled, drivers should remain cautious as patchy fog may still linger in some areas during the morning hours. Weather officials recommend maintaining safe following distances, using low-beam headlights, and reducing speed if visibility remains limited.
The fog developed overnight as warm, moist air moved over cooler surfaces, creating the perfect conditions for dense fog formation. As temperatures rise and winds increase throughout the morning, any remaining fog should continue to dissipate.
Commuters heading out for the morning drive can expect improving conditions, but should still exercise caution, especially in low-lying areas where fog tends to linger longer. The advisory officially expired at 5:30 AM, and no further fog advisories are expected for the immediate future.
