Drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula should prepare for hazardous conditions as the National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective from 6 PM tonight through 10 AM Thursday morning.
Visibility is expected to drop to less than one mile in dense fog, creating potentially dangerous driving conditions across coastal Delaware and southern New Jersey. The advisory covers inland Sussex County, Delaware’s beaches, and several New Jersey counties including Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May.
The National Weather Service warns that the thick fog could make evening commutes and Thursday morning travel particularly treacherous. Motorists are strongly advised to reduce speed, use headlights, and maintain extra distance between vehicles.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” meteorologists warn in the advisory issued at 1:08 PM Tuesday.
The fog is expected to develop during the evening hours and persist through the overnight period before gradually lifting Thursday morning. Drivers should allow extra time for their Thursday morning commute and consider delaying non-essential travel if visibility becomes severely limited.
The Dense Fog Advisory remains in effect until 10 AM Thursday. TV Delmarva will continue monitoring conditions and provide updates as needed.
