Drivers across the Delmarva Peninsula should prepare for hazardous conditions tonight as the National Weather Service has issued a Dense Fog Advisory effective from 6 PM this evening through 10 AM Thursday morning.
Visibility will drop to less than one mile in dense fog, creating dangerous driving conditions throughout coastal Delaware and southern New Jersey. The advisory affects all of Sussex County, Delaware’s beaches, and extends into multiple New Jersey counties including Ocean, Atlantic, Cape May, and Monmouth.
Motorists are urged to exercise extreme caution during the evening commute and Thursday morning’s rush hour. The National Weather Service recommends slowing down, using headlights even during daylight hours, and maintaining extra distance between vehicles.
“Low visibility could make driving conditions hazardous,” warns the weather service. The dense fog is expected to be most problematic overnight and during early morning hours when temperatures are coolest.
The advisory remains in effect until 10 AM Thursday, though conditions may improve gradually as morning temperatures rise. Drivers should allow extra travel time and consider delaying non-essential trips during peak fog hours.
