Good news for morning commuters across the Delmarva Peninsula – the Dense Fog Advisory that impacted our region earlier today has been lifted as visibility conditions improve.
The National Weather Service Mount Holly issued the advisory this morning at 8:49 AM, affecting New Castle County in Delaware, along with Salem, Gloucester, Camden, and Philadelphia counties in our neighboring areas. While the dense fog that created hazardous driving conditions earlier has largely cleared, meteorologists warn that patchy fog may still linger through the rest of the morning.
“Visibilities have improved, but drivers should remain alert for rapidly changing conditions,” according to the weather service advisory, which expires at 10:00 AM.
If you’re heading out this morning, safety officials recommend taking extra precautions in any remaining foggy areas. Reduce your speed, turn on your low beam headlights – not your high beams, which can reflect off the fog and reduce visibility further – and maintain a greater following distance from other vehicles.
The improving conditions are welcome news for weekend travelers across the Delmarva region. We’ll continue monitoring weather conditions and bring you any updates throughout the morning.
