A Dense Fog Advisory is now in effect for much of the Delmarva Peninsula, with visibility expected to drop to less than one mile starting this evening.
The National Weather Service issued the advisory at 1:08 PM today, warning residents that dangerous driving conditions are expected from 6 PM tonight through 10 AM Thursday morning. The fog will 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’s coastal regions, and several New Jersey counties including Atlantic, Cape May, Ocean, and parts of Burlington and Monmouth counties.
Motorists should exercise extreme caution during the advisory period. Weather officials recommend slowing down, using headlights, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles. The reduced visibility could create hazardous conditions on highways and local roads throughout the region.
The fog is expected to gradually lift Thursday morning, with the advisory set to expire at 10 AM. Commuters should plan for potential delays during the Thursday morning rush hour and consider leaving earlier than usual.
TV Delmarva will continue monitoring conditions and provide updates as the weather situation develops. Stay tuned to TV Delmarva for the latest weather information.
