Drivers across the Delmarva region should prepare for hazardous travel conditions as the National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective tonight through Thursday morning.
The advisory begins at 6 PM this evening and continues until 10 AM Thursday, with visibility dropping to less than one mile in many areas. The fog will primarily impact coastal Delaware, including Sussex County and Delaware beaches, as well as portions of southern New Jersey.
Specifically affected areas include inland Sussex County, Delaware beaches, and several New Jersey counties including Western and Eastern Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties, along with their coastal regions.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the National Weather Service Mount Holly office, which issued the advisory Tuesday afternoon.
Motorists planning to travel during the advisory period should take extra precautions. Weather officials recommend slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. Even familiar routes can become dangerous when visibility drops significantly.
The dense fog is expected to gradually lift Thursday morning as temperatures rise and atmospheric conditions change. Commuters should allow extra travel time and consider delaying non-essential trips until conditions improve.
