Good news for drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula – the National Weather Service has lifted its Dense Fog Advisory as visibility conditions have significantly improved throughout the region.
The advisory, which was issued this morning at 11:47 AM, affected multiple areas including Inland Sussex County, Delaware’s beaches, and portions of southern New Jersey including Atlantic, Cape May, and Ocean counties. The alert is set to expire at 1:00 PM today.
According to meteorologists at the National Weather Service Mount Holly office, visibility has improved dramatically since the early morning hours when dense fog created hazardous driving conditions. However, isolated pockets of dense fog may still linger in some areas.
While no specific safety instructions are currently in effect, drivers should remain cautious and use low-beam headlights if encountering any remaining fog patches. Remember to reduce speed, increase following distance, and use fog lines and reflectors as guides when visibility is reduced.
The improvement comes as welcome relief for the Friday afternoon commute. Weather conditions are expected to continue clearing throughout the afternoon, with normal visibility returning across the region.
