Drivers across the Delmarva region should prepare for dangerous conditions tonight as dense fog is expected to blanket the area, reducing visibility to less than one mile.
The National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective from 6 PM this evening through 10 AM Thursday morning. The advisory covers Delaware’s beaches and inland Sussex County, along with coastal areas of New Jersey including Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May counties.
Motorists can expect hazardous driving conditions as the thick fog moves in after sunset tonight. The National Weather Service warns that visibility could drop dramatically, making it difficult to see other vehicles, road signs, and traffic signals.
If you must drive during the advisory period, weather officials strongly recommend slowing down, using your headlights, and maintaining extra distance between your vehicle and others on the road. Consider delaying non-essential travel until conditions improve.
The fog is expected to gradually lift Thursday morning, with the advisory expiring at 10 AM. Commuters should allow extra time for their Thursday morning drive and stay alert for changing conditions.
TV Delmarva will continue monitoring this developing weather situation and provide updates as conditions change.
